Abstract

Radiographic imaging has always been a cornerstone for paleopathologic diagnostics. We here provide a brief history of its use and we discuss the basic technical principles and terminology. Specifically, we illustrate how several diseases appear on X-rays and CT, including taphonomic alterations as distinguished from vital changes. We also address certain borderline pathologic conditions, which are often considered when compiling a general health profile from a skeleton and which rely on radiography. Finally, the chapter will also address the use of certain other imaging modalities.
