Imaging Techniques for Postmortem Forensic Radiology

2019
Postmortem forensic radiology aims to acquisition, interpretation, and reporting of radiologic images for the purpose of forensic investigations, in the living as well as the deceased. Conventional radiology still remains the most common modality used in the forensic setting and the gold standard method for many forensic challenges. X-rays are commonly

Early Experience With Postmortem CT Imaging

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
Objective: Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) is a procedure fairly unfamiliar to many US radiologists. We embarked on a collaboration between the department of radiology and the medical examiner’s office (MEO) with the purpose of introducing PMCT into the autopsy workflow and the goal of assisting forensic pathologist ...

Postmortem imaging in forensic cases

2021
Postmortem imaging is the application to forensics of imaging techniques used in the routine assessment of clinical diagnoses. The techniques involve, but are not limited to, ultrasound, X-rays, computed tomography and magnetic resonance. The aim of postmortem imaging is to complement, and in some cases substitute, traditional autopsies.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Postmortem Infant Brains

Journal of Child Neurology, 1994
In order to obtain postmortem magnetic resonance images of infant brains, the formalin-fixed brains of 37 infants, ranging in age from 17 days to 17 months, were studied. Factors that improved scan resolution included formalin fixation, not washing the formalin from the brain, imaging the brain with a thin film of water over it, and the use of an ...

Postmortem Imaging Techniques

2009
Roentgenology provides an important supplement to modem autopsy technology. Several applications of postmortem roentgenography, in particular, angiographic procedures, have been described in Chapter 2. In addition, numerous indications for the use of autopsy roentgenography are listed throughout Part II, Therefore, in this chapter, only a brief ...

Postmortem Imaging in Mass Disasters

2019
The term “mass casualty” in the forensic field refers to a sudden tragic event involving a large number of people; such an event determines the need to perform a large number of autopsy exams, possibly in a short time. Mass casualties tend to involve emergencies that are unexpected and result in stressful situation when even those with no or scarce ...

Arteriovenous malformation of the brain: Imaging by postmortem angiography

Forensic Science International, 1990
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the brain, detected in 0.06% of medicolegal autopsies in Helsinki, was imaged in four cases by postmortem angiography using contrast medium which vulcanised at room temperature. Postmortem angiography visualized the location, extent and type of the malformation as well as its feeding vessels.

POSTMORTEM MR IMAGING OF THE BRAINS OF PATIENTS WITH AIDS

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1997
Forty-two postmortem formalin-fixed brains of known patients with AIDS were examined with T2-weighted MR imaging before brain cutting. The gross and microscopic brain findings were correlated with the T2 signal changes in the postmortem MR imaging.

Postmortem imaging exposed: an aid in MR imaging of musculoskeletal structures

Skeletal Radiology, 2012
To identify factors that influence the quality of postmortem magnetic resonance (MR) images of musculoskeletal (MSK) structures as described in the literature, and to evaluate the extent to which these MR images are affected.Four useful studies were retrieved from a PubMed and EMBASE search, covering the literature up to 1 March 2012.

Imaging Human Postmortem Eyes with SLO and OCT

2011
Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) provide a comprehensive diagnostic assessment in the clinic. Here, we describe the use of SLO and OCT as the initial assessment to both screen “normal” postmortem donor eyes for retinal lesions and characterize retinal lesions in eyes with suspected ...
