About

Daniele Gibelli is a leading researcher in forensic anthropology and radiological anatomy, with a particular focus on the application of advanced imaging techniques to human identification and craniofacial analysis. His work bridges clinical radiology and forensic science, notably through volumetric assessments of paranasal sinuses for individual identification. His most-cited paper, "Volumetric assessment of sphenoid sinuses through segmentation on CT scan" (2017, 66 citations), pioneered a reproducible method for using sphenoid sinus morphology as a biometric marker, demonstrating high accuracy in distinguishing individuals. Beyond this, Gibelli has contributed extensively to age estimation, facial reconstruction, and the analysis of skeletal remains using CT and MRI data, often integrating machine learning approaches to improve reliability. His research has been cited over 1,500 times, reflecting its influence on both forensic practice and clinical anatomy. He has also co-authored key guidelines for forensic age estimation in living individuals and served as an expert witness in high-profile legal cases. Gibelli’s work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of radiology, anatomy, and forensic science.
