Journal Title: Archiwum Medycyny Sądowej i Kryminologii - Year 2009, Vol 59, Issue 2
Abstract
The authors presented the results of postmortem examinations of four cases related to gunfire and post explosion injuries. Prior to "classic" forensic autopsies, the corpses were examined using CT imaging. The findings (injuries and foreign bodies) are presented in the table and in images: 3D reconstructions contrasted with actual autopsy specimens. The enclosed CD includes 3D animations.
