Journal Title: Archiwum Medycyny Sądowej i Kryminologii - Year 2009, Vol 59, Issue 4

Abstract

The authors present an analysis of postmortem CT examination in a case of drowning in fresh water of a young male. Both the results of conventional forensic autopsy and radiologic examination have been compared. The analysis is illustrated by two-dimensional and three-dimensional reconstructions based on the DICOM files obtained during postmortem CT examination.
