“…Consequently, various postmortem angiographic techniques have been developed (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Probably the most widespread single approach for postmortem angiography today is multiphase postmortem CT angiography (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27), first described in 2011 (14). This technique uses a standardized procedure on the basis of a defined injection and a scanning protocol that uses a specific perfusion device and an oil-based contrast agent of specific viscosity.…”

Purpose: To determine if postmortem computed tomography (CT) and postmortem CT angiography help to detect more lesions than autopsy in postmortem examinations, to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each method, and to define their indications. Materials and Methods:Postmortem CT angiography was performed on 500 human corpses and followed by conventional autopsy. Nine centers were involved. All CT images were read by an experienced team including one forensic pathologist and one radiologist, blinded to the autopsy results. All findings were recorded for each method and categorized by anatomic structure (bone, organ parenchyma, soft tissue, and vascular) and relative importance in the forensic case (essential, useful, and unimportant).

“…In human medicine it is very common to detect small fractures with post-mortem computed tomo- graphy that are not diagnosed by the conventional necropsy. This is one of the major indications for the PMCT especially in forensic cases [12][13][14].…”

The purpose of this case report was to compare, in a brown howler monkey (Alouatta guariba clamitans), the findings of the post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) with the forensic necropsy, and also to describe a successful post-mortem computed tomography angiography (PMCTA) study. Post mortem CT images revealed two thyroid cartilage fractures that were not seen at the forensic necropsy. The PMCTA was a feasible technique, but did not change the final diagnosis in this case. The PMCT findings were considered crucial to determine the cause of the disability of the animal, and this disability was believed to contribute to the cause of death. In conclusion, PMCT added relevant information to the establishment of the final diagnosis, and can be considered an important adjuvant tool to the veterinary pathology. 2 mm (abdomen and mediastinum), the slice interval ranged from

“…Post-mortem imaging (PMI) methods, including conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT) with or without contrast agent injection, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have been applied and evaluated in many cases, including the detailed analysis of traffic accidents [3][4][5], detection of sources of bleeding [6,7], bone age estimation [8,9], gunshot injuries [10][11][12][13], and deaths occurring during or shortly after surgery [14]. PMI may add substantial information to the results of conventional autopsy and, in some cases, may serve as a non-or minimally invasive alternative method to conventional autopsy, especially if conventional autopsy cannot be performed.…”
