The role of radiologic imaging studies in the forensic medical procedure following an airborne disaster is now well established. This report summarizes the experience and the results acquired with a recent air crash, and insists on three suggestions: the necessity of a prepared identification team consisting of specialist in forensic medicine, in forensic odontology and specialist in forensic radiology, and the usefulness of a suitable structure for the study and the storage of the dead bodies, the need for a compilation of radiological informations, notably dental X-Ray examinations for the flying personnel.
