“…Postmortem radiology and imaging is primarily utilized as a compliment and performed prior to the standard forensic autopsy. In some jurisdictions and cases, postmortem cross‐sectional imaging may replace the conventional forensic autopsy . Interpretation of postmortem radiology and imaging requires knowledge of the gradual changes in the normal appearance of internal organs after death owing to the absence of circulation, the phenomenon of livor mortis, which is the sedimentation of blood in dependent areas, and blood clotting.…”

“…Postmortem ultrasonography (PMUS) may be limited to recently deceased patients and certain body regions due to gradual accumulations of gas within organs, particularly the gastrointestinal tract and the subcutaneous tissues, low body temperature and a postmortem increase in the echogenicity of thoracic and abdominal walls . .…”

“…Although ultrasound did not meet the inclusion criteria for the guideline it is a technique that could be considered in selected cases where parents do not approve the use of PMCT or PMMRI [ 41 43 ]. Due to open sutures and absence of inhaled air, the brain and lungs can be examined by ultrasonography in cases of foetal demise [ 44 ]. In 88 foetuses of 11–40 weeks of gestation sensitivities of 91, 88, and 87% and specificities of respectively 90, 92, and 95% were reported with ultrasound for respectively brain, thoracic and abdominal anomalies [ 45 ].…”

“…Although not currently routinely performed in many centres, post‐mortem ultrasound (PMUS) has been shown to be a feasible technique for post‐mortem imaging with good concordance rates compared with autopsy of up to 81.4% [73.2%‐89.6% CI] (Figure ). The techniques described in the literature commonly utilise high frequency linear probes for the majority of body parts (eg, frequencies of 6‐18 or 6‐12 MHz for GE Voluson E8 model; 7‐16 MHz for Samsung HM70A model; 10‐15 MHz for Toshiba Aplio 500 model).…”
