A scoping review protocol for mapping current practices, commonalities and disparities

Abstract

Learning objectives: The outcome of the research question is to reveal gaps, as in that there is no comprehensive mapping of how forensic imaging is actually organised and standardised across European jurisdictions, and where the main commonalities and disparities lie. The primary objective is to map the range, nature, and characteristics of forensic imaging practices across European countries, identifying key commonalities and disparities in imaging modalities, protocols, service structures, and governance.
