"Brogdon's Forensic Radiology" Second Edition Introduced at American Academy of Forensic Sciences Annual Meeting

The second edition of Dr. Gil Brogdon’s book, titled “Brogdon’s Forensic Radiology,” was introduced last month at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.

Dr. Brogdon, who is the Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Radiology with the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, has authored and co-authored more than 300 scientific publications. This is his fifth book.

With more than 600 pages and 1,300 figures, the second edition of “Brogdon’s Forensic Radiology” is more than half as large as the 1998 first edition, which was a worldwide best seller and the standard reference in the field of forensic sciences.

Dr. Brogdon, who chaired the USA department of radiology from 1985 to 1992, has received numerous awards for his work, including the Hunt Award and the Distinguished Fellow Award and Medal from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. He teaches regularly at the USA Medical Center. In addition, Dr. Brogdon continues to write, accepts speaking invitations, sees local clinical cases, and receives forensic referrals from across the country.
