Postmortem imaging is a fascinating field of forensic radiology that has seen extraordinary growth in the last 10 years. Indeed, if autopsy represents the sole reliable method of determining the definitive cause of death, imaging may provide an efficient guide to supplement conventional autopsy.

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has emerged as an effective imaging technique to augment forensic autopsy. Postmortem change and decomposition are always present at autopsy and on postmortem MDCT because they begin to occur immediately upon death. Consequently, postmortem change and decomposition on postmortem MDCT should be recognized and not

Postmortem imaging of antemortem myocardial ischaemia
European Radiology, 2013To determine the minimum survival time for detection of antemortem myocardial ischaemia with postmortem imaging (PMI) techniques.Nine pigs underwent ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) (8) and/or right coronary artery (RCA) branch (4), and were killed 30 min-6 h after ligation.

Postmortem magnetic resonance imaging
2018This chapter provides a brief overview of studies that combine postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathology. We touch upon the logistics of setting up a protocol that limits unwanted postmortem delays and explain how combining postmortem MRI and histopathology can elucidate the histologic substrate of signal changes that appear on MRI.

The case for postmortem imaging
Pediatric Radiology, 2009In the late 1960s, as a medical student with a background in mathematics, I was given the opportunity to earn needed funds doing statistics for a pediatric pathologist, Dr. Richard L. Naeye [1, 2]. As generous mentors do, Dr. Naeye guided me to seek answers about things I noticed.

Postmortem imaging and neuropathologic correlations
2016Postmortem imaging refers to scanning autopsy specimens using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or optical imaging. This chapter summarizes postmortem imaging and its usefulness in brain mapping. Standard in vivo MRI has limited resolution due to time constraints and does not deliver cortical boundaries (e.g., Brodmann areas).

Postmortem imaging of perimortem skeletal trauma
Forensic Science International, 2019Various imaging modalities, including conventional radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and surface scanning have been applied in the examination of skeletal injuries in the forensic context. Although still not a substitute for a full medico-legal autopsy or the examination of skeletal remains, imaging is now increasingly used as a ...

Fatal thoracic impalement on postmortem imaging
Legal Medicine, 2011In the present paper, the authors describe a case of fatal thoracic impalement in a victim of a road traffic accident, by penetration of a metal handrail. The driver lost control of his car while overtaking three cars. Due to the force of the vehicle collision with a metal railing, the upper cross bar penetrated the front of the car and subsequently ...

Postmortem Imaging in Drowning
2019The diagnosis of drowning is one of the most difficult in the field of forensic medicine since the autopsy findings are often not specific and the laboratory examinations are controversially appreciated by the scientific community. In a cadaver recovered from water, it is of utmost importance to differentiate antemortem and postmortem drowning.

Fetal postmortem imaging: an overview of current techniques and future perspectives
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2020Fetal death because of miscarriage, unexpected intrauterine fetal demise, or termination of pregnancy is a traumatic event for any family. Despite advances in prenatal imaging and genetic diagnosis, conventional autopsy remains the gold standard because it can provide additional information not available during fetal life in up to 40% of cases and this
