Postmortem CT (PMCT) findings may change with the passage of time after death. The aim of this study was to investigate time-dependent PMCT findings of the lung in order to aid the interpretation of postmortem images obtained at various times.Our subjects were three non-traumatically deceased male subjects (25, 44, and 76 years old) who underwent whole

False positive aortic dissection on postmortem computed tomography
Forensic Science International, 2015Post-mortem CT-scan (PMCT) has become increasingly useful as a diagnostic tool. However, certain normal postmortem changes may mimic the appearance of pathologic findings. We report two cases of false positive aortic dissection.Non-contrast PMCT was performed on a sixty-four-detector row scanner.

Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and disaster victim identification
La radiologia medica, 2015Radiography has been used for identification since 1927, and established a role in mass fatality investigations in 1949. More recently, postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) has been used for disaster victim identification (DVI). PMCT offers several advantages compared with fluoroscopy, plain film and dental X-rays, including: speed, reducing the ...

Approaching pulmonary fat embolism on postmortem computed tomography
International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2019Purpose: Pulmonary fat embolism (PFE) is a relevant diagnosis playing a role as a sign of vitality or a cause of death. Its severity is assessed according to histological grading systems like that of Falzi. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of unenhanced postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) for PFE diagnosis based on the detection of ...

New pitfalls of high-density postmortem computed tomography
Legal Medicine, 2014An 80-year-old female was transferred to the hospital due to a traffic accident. Multiple cranial bone fractures with intracranial hemorrhage and intracranial air were detected. Despite treatment, the patient died after 6h. Twenty-one hours after the patient died, her whole body was scanned by postmortem CT, and a region of high density was detected ...

The Role of Postmortem Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Strangulation Deaths
Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2018AbstractWe explored the value of postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) to augment autopsy in evaluating strangulation fatalities. A literature search identified 16 studies describing autopsy findings in 576 deaths and two studies describing autopsy and PMCT findings in six deaths.

Postmortem computed tomography findings in the thorax – Experimental evaluation
Legal Medicine, 2016Experimental fatal models were prepared to investigate the time-related course of lung changes using postmortem CT (PMCT). This study was approved by our institutional animal ethics committee.Twenty-four NZW rabbits (female 24, 2.30-4.30 (mean 3.10)kg) were divided into 4 fatal groups; drowning, hypothermia, bag suffocation, and Potassium Chloride ...

New identification possibilities with postmortem multislice computed tomography
International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2007Historically, radiographical identification has been done by comparing conventional antemortem and postmortem X-ray images. The advent of new technologies such as multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is making traditional antemortem examination increasingly less frequent.

Pediatric forensic postmortem computed tomography: basics to advanced
Pediatric RadiologyThe approach to postmortem computed tomography (CT) differs significantly from that of diagnostic CT in living patients. Elimination of artifacts such as noise and beam hardening as well as optimization of tissue contrast requires alteration of exposure parameters from protocols designed to limit radiation dose in children.
