Postmortem computed tomography angiography, contrast medium administration and toxicological analyses in urine

Legal Medicine, 2015
Postmortem angiography methods that use water soluble or lipid soluble liquid contrast compounds may potentially modify the composition of fluid-based biological samples and thus influence toxicological findings. In this study, we investigated whether toxicological investigations performed in urine collected prior to and post angiography using Angiofil™

Fatal secondary aortoduodenal fistula diagnosed with postmortem computed tomography angiography

Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, 2020
Secondary aortoduodenal fistula (AEF), although less rare than its primary form, is an uncommon and frequently lethal cause of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. We report a case of fatal GI hemorrhage in a woman with a remote history of endovascular graft repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Targeted Coronary Postmortem Computed Tomography Angiography

2016
Establishing an accurate medical cause of death is a policy requirement in the United Kingdom. It is also important for social and ethical reasons and for health care practice and planning. This leads to England and Wales having one of the highest autopsy rates in the world [1].

Patent foramen ovale as incidental finding in postmortem computed tomography angiography

Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging, 2014
We present a case of an incidentally found patent foramen ovale in an adult that died after being shot twice, which was identified at postmortem computed tomography angiography (PMCTA). PMCTA was performed to visualize the trajectory and injuries due to gunshot trauma.

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

Multiphase Postmortem Computed Tomography Angiography (MPMCTA)

2016
The technique of multiphase postmortem computed tomography angiography (MPMCTA) is today’s most often used and published method of postmortem angiography (PMA). It consists of a standardized protocol of perfusion parameters, injection material, and data acquisition.

Radiologic Artefacts of Postmortem Computed Tomography Angiography

2016
In performing postmortem CT angiography (PMCTA), we expect to encounter artefacts. In addition to those that have been well characterized in radiologic imaging, such as physics-based artefacts (e.g., beam hardening, partial volume, photon starvation), patient-based artefacts (e.g., metallic materials and patient motion), or scanner-based artefacts (e.g.

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.

Fatal bronchovascular fistula after lobectomy visualized through postmortem computed tomography angiography: A case report

Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, 2017
False aneurysm of the pulmonary artery complicated by bronchovascular fistula formation represents a rare life threating condition. We report a case of fatal hemoptysis after formation of a bronchial fistula in the late postoperative period after sleeve lobectomy.

Visualization of Myocardial Infarction in Postmortem Multiphase Computed Tomography Angiography

American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology, 2018
Abstract Recent studies have indicated that multiphase postmortem computed tomography angiography (MPMCTA) allows detection of a pathological enhancement of the myocardium in regions that correlate with the localization of the infarction at histology.
