Postmortem Changes as Documented in Postmortem Computed Tomography Scans [PDF]

open access: yesAcademic Forensic Pathology, 2016
The benefits and uses of postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) have been well documented in the forensic pathology and radiology literature in recent years and research into its utility continue in earnest. Opinions and policies regarding who actually interprets the PMCT scans vary between institutions, but in general, scans will be read by a forensic ...

Postmortem computed tomography of the frozen corpse

Sudebno-meditsinskaya ekspertiza, 2022
The purpose of the work is to identify the possibilities of computed tomography in establishing postmortem changes in the bones of the skeleton and internal organs during in a frozen corpse. The article describes a case from thanatological practice with the performance of a pre-sectional computed tomography of a corpse of a young woman found in a ...

Postmortem volume change of the spleen and kidney on early postmortem computed tomography: comparison with antemortem computed tomography

Japanese Journal of Radiology, 2019
To clarify an early postmortem change, we investigated the volume changes of the spleen and kidney on postmortem CT compared with antemortem CT in the same patients.We retrospectively evaluated the volumes of 56 spleens (56 cases) and 50 kidneys (25 cases) using antemortem and postmortem CT, which were performed within 168 min after death.

Postmortem changes of the thyroid on computed tomography

Legal Medicine, 2011
To evaluate the radiographic features of the thyroid on postmortem computed tomography (PMCT).We studied the bodies of 32 subjects who had been treated and subsequently died in our tertiary care hospital between April and December 2009. The thyroids were imaged by antemortem computed tomography (AMCT), PMCT, and examined by conventional autopsy ...

Postmortem Computed Tomography Angiography of Newborns

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2020
We propose an original method of postmortem computed tomography angiography of the body of a deceased newborn. The work is based on the analysis of the results of comprehensive postmortem computed tomography and pathological examination of 30 newborns, who died from congenital malformations.

Postmortem computed tomography findings in suicide victims

open access: yesDiagnostic and Interventional Imaging, 2017
Suicide is the eighth cause of mortality in France and the leading cause in people aged between 25 and 34 years. The most common methods of suicide are hanging, self-poisoning with medicines and firearms. Postmortem computed tomography (CT) is a useful adjunct to autopsy to confirm suicide and exclude other causes of death. At autopsy, fractures of the

Postmortem-computed tomography and postmortem-computed tomography–angiography: a focused update

La radiologia medica, 2015
The use of multidetector CT (MDCT) represents a reality routinely used in several forensic institutes, for the numerous advantages that this diagnostic tool can provide; costs are becoming increasingly lower; data acquisition is always faster and once acquired may be revalued at any time. However, there are also some diagnostic limitations, for example,

Validity of dental findings for identification by postmortem computed tomography

Forensic Science International, 2022
Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) images help identify individuals and extract information from corpses. PMCT may substitute for a standard examination when bodies are severely damaged or when resources are limited in a mass fatality incident. In such situations, the dental information revealed by PMCT has the potential to narrow down candidates ...

Postmortem Computed Tomography in a Diving Fatality

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1983
Determination of the exact cause of death in diving casualties is usually difficult at autopsy. In such cases, formation of gas in various organs is sometimes supposed to be causative, and thus establishment of the exact distribution of gas is crucial. This is not possible by conventional autopsy techniques.

Postmortem Computed Tomography and Computed Tomography Angiography

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2019
With the introduction of modern imaging technology into the forensic field, postmortem imaging, particularly postmortem computed tomography (PMCT), has gained increasing importance in forensic investigations of deaths. In recent years, PMCT, which aims to provide observer-independent, reproducible forensic assessment in a minimally invasive manner, has
