“…Although autopsy is well established as the gold standard technique for investigating the cause of death, the use of a less invasive radiological approachwhenever appropriate-might be preferable in some circumstances, especially in cases of cultural or religious oppositions to the internal examination of the body [3][4][5][6][7]. Since they allow a better visualization of bone structures, gas/fluid spaces and foreign bodies, also providing an enhanced resolution thanks to 3D volume rendering techniques, postmortem CT (PMCT) methodologies are most suited for the investigation of traumatic deaths, acute hemorrhages, lung parenchyma diseases, calcifications (stones, atherosclerosis), pneumothorax and pathological conditions associated with free air, as well as for personal identification [3,5,6,[8][9][10][11]. Compared to PMCT, postmortem Magnetic Resonance (PMMR), although less used, provides useful information on the cause of death as well, proving superior in the study of soft tissues [3,5].…”
