Postmortem lung features in drowning cases on computed tomography

Japanese Journal of Radiology, 2014
We sought to compare postmortem chest computed tomography (CT) features of drowning cases with autopsy findings, and to classify these features.We performed a retrospective analysis of high-resolution and multi-planar reconstruction chest CT images of drowning in 92 adults (54 men, 38 women; mean age 65.4 years) scanned before forensic autopsy.

Pictorial review of the postmortem computed tomography in neonaticide cases

International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2021
Neonaticide is defined by the deliberate killing or homicide of a child within 24 h of its birth. In this context, three fundamental questions are generally asked of the forensic pathologist: what is the cause of death of the neonate? Was the child viable (i.e., what is the gestational age of the neonate)? Finally, was the neonate stillborn or liveborn?

UTILITY OF POSTMORTEM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN TRAUMA VICTIMS

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1994
A possible way to circumvent the continuing decline in the number of autopsies is to perform computed tomography after death. The present study compares the pathologic findings of postmortem CT tomography (PMCT) in trauma fatalities with those disclosed upon conventional forensic autopsy.

Evaluation of thymic volume by postmortem computed tomography

Legal Medicine, 2015
The thymus is exceedingly sensitive to stress and undergoes abrupt involution as a result of exposure to strong stress in early childhood. Therefore, thymic involution is often utilized to assess the presence of a stressful environment, such as an environment involving child abuse, in forensic medicine.

Opportunities postmortem multislice computer tomography

Pathology, 2014
Objective Compare the data from postmortem multislice computer tomography (MSCT) and autopsy to determine the diagnostic capabilities of dead fetus and neonatal MSCT. Methods Postmortem MSCT was performed on 5 fetuses (gestational age 20-21 weeks), 3 stillbirths (22-34 weeks) and 11 newborns who died 2 hours to 36 days after birth.

Cardiac Myxoma With Postmortem Computed Tomography and Postmortem Examination Correlation

American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology
The deceased was a man in his early 30’s who collapsed unexpectedly at work. He had a family history of sudden cardiac death not otherwise specified, and was recently diagnosed with hypertension, but was not compliant with his medications. He worked in a kitchen and was taken to hospital after collapsing during his shift. Despite resuscitation efforts,

Utilitarian Aspects of Postmortem Computed Tomography

Academic Forensic Pathology, 2015
Computed tomography has been used in clinical medicine for decades, but only recently introduced into the forensic pathology setting. The reasons for the slow adoption of this technology into the autopsy suite are various, including concerns about funding, infrastructural maintenance, training, competency, and scope of utilization. Practical experience

Radiodense gastric contents in postmortem computed tomography

Forensic Imaging, 2021
Background: Postmortem radiology often encounters foreign bodies in the stomach: food. Rarely, this intragastric content exhibits a high radiodensity, which can be confused with intragastric pills. We hypothesized that the radiodensity of this gastric content provided information about the interval between last meal and death.

Multiphase Postmortem Computed Tomography Angiography in Pediatrics

American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology, 2015
Postmortem imaging techniques, especially postmortem computed tomography, have become integral tools in forensic investigations. Multiphase postmortem computed tomography angiography (MPMCTA) visualizes the vascular system in detail and makes it possible to evaluate the perfusion of even the smallest vessels.

Postmortem computed tomography lung findings in fatal of hypothermia

Forensic Science International, 2013
To identify lung findings specific to fatal hypothermia on postmortem computed tomography (CT) imaging. Whole body CT scans were performed followed by full autopsy to investigate causes of death. There were 13 fatal hypothermia cases (group A) and 118 with other causes of death (group B).
