Identificación de víctima, Isótopos, estroncio (Sr), identificación humana, geología colombiana, estroncio biodisponible, revisiónResumen
El artículo presenta una revisión de las investigaciones realizadas a la fecha en Colombia relacionadas con la aplicación de los análisis de isótopos en la identificación humana. En especial, hace énfasis en la utilidad de las relaciones isotópicas de estroncio (87Sr/86Sr) para rastrear el lugar de origen de un cuerpo en condición no identificada (CNI). Dentro de la revisión se resalta la importancia de la variabilidad geológica colombiana, la cual puede incidir en la diversidad del estroncio biodisponible, en un espacio y un periodo determinados. Esta diversidad del estroncio biodisponible puede verse reflejada en la distribución espacial de la composición isotópica de estroncio en diferentes tejidos humanos (dientes, huesos, cabello y uñas) de los pobladores del territorio colombiano. Esto es debido a la transferencia de la señal isotópica del estroncio biodisponible a los tejidos humanos. Dentro de las conclusiones de la revisión bibliográfica realizada se menciona la importancia del uso del estroncio (Sr) en la identificación humana en el contexto colombiano, su aplicación forense y sus posibles limitantes respecto al uso de esta metodología en el país.
