Post-mortem changes of the vascular system—a thanatological study using multidetector computed tomography
Forensic pathologists have to deal with post-mortem changes of the human body. Those post-mortem phenomena are familiar and largely described in...

Post-mortem skeletal survey (PMSS) versus post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) for the detection of corner metaphyseal lesions (CML) in children
ObjectivesCorner metaphyseal lesions (CMLs) are specific for child abuse but challenging to detect on radiographs. The accuracy of CT for CML...

Post mortem computed tomography is highly sensitive for pyelonephritis. A radiologic-pathologic correlation series
Pyelonephritis is a potentially lethal disease occasionally encountered in the forensic setting. Post mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is an...

Post mortem computed tomography meets radiomics: a case series on fractal analysis of post mortem changes in the brain
Estimating the post-mortem interval is a fundamental, albeit challenging task in forensic sciences. To this aim, forensic practitioners need to...

Volumetric assessment of canines using post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) for sexual dimorphism in a Malaysian population
BackgroundRecent research has explored volumetric assessment in three-dimensional (3D) imaging procedures for sexual dimorphism. The 3D techniques...

Post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging with computed tomography-guided biopsy for foetuses and infants: a prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study
BackgroundPost-mortem imaging has been suggested as an alternative to conventional autopsy in the prenatal and postnatal periods. Noninvasive...

Estimating heart mass from heart volume as measured from post-mortem computed tomography
Heart mass can be predicted from heart volume as measured from post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT), but with limited accuracy. Although related to...

Sensitivity and specificity of post-mortem computed tomography in skull fracture detection—a systematic review and meta-analysis
Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) has been increasingly used as routine examination in forensic pathology. No recent review of the growing...

Comparison between pre-mortem and post-mortem cadaveric images for use with augmented reality headsets during dissection
PurposeMedical training has undergone many transformations to incorporate diagnostic imaging along side anatomical education. Post-mortem computed...

Association of epicardial adipose tissue volume with heart weight in post-mortem cases
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) deposition has been long associated with heart weight. However, recent research has failed to replicate this...

Validation of a post-mortem computed tomography method for age estimation based on the 4th rib in a French population
Age estimation is a key factor for identification procedure in forensic context. Based on anthropological findings, degenerative changes of the...

Ingestion of fishing gear and Anisakis sp. infection in a beached Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in the Jeju Island, Republic of Korea: findings from post-mortem computed tomography and necropsy
BackgroundHuman fishing activities have significantly affect environmental concern for marine ecosystems, conservation of marine mammals, and human...

Fractures of the neuro-cranium: sensitivity and specificity of post-mortem computed tomography compared with autopsy
Post–mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is a routine tool in many forensic pathology departments as it is fast and non-destructive and allows less...
-
Post-mortem computed tomography is a useful tool for determining the pulmonary ventilation status in newborns
IntroductionLung ventilation is a standard sign of life in newborns. Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is highly sensitive to the presence of...

Lethal hemorrhage from iliac vein rupture complicating inferior vena cava thrombosis demonstrated by post-mortem CT angiography
Spontaneous iliac vein rupture is a rare cause of retroperitoneal hemorrhage that may present to the forensic pathologist. It has been reported in...
-
Post-mortem CT radiomics for the prediction of time since death
ObjectivesPost - mortem interval (PMI) estimation has long been relying on sequential post - mortem changes on the body as a function of extrinsic,...

Fatal child abuse detected by systematic post-mortem fundus photograph in sudden death in infancy
In living children, the use of a wide field fundus camera such as RetCam is the gold standard practice to document retinal haemorrhages in suspected...
