This
groundbreaking work emphasizes a practical, technical, and interpretive
foundation for understanding the diagnostic use of modern imaging in
forensic autopsy. It covers advanced imaging techniques, such as
radiography, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), angiography, and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The authors focus on images derived
from MDCT and MRI that are likely to replace or limit conventional
autopsy dissection. Following an introduction to basic concepts and a
review of imaging techniques, chapters are organized by cause of death.
The atlas-like presentation is supported by full text explanations that
review relevant forensic principles.
