The Impact of Advances in Post-Mortem Imaging on Forensic Practice
Journal Title: Journal of Forensic Science & Criminology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Post-mortem imaging in the form of plain X-ray films has been in use for many years as an adjunct or occasionally as a substitute for autopsy. However, in the last two decades there has been increasing interest and investigation into the use of advanced techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in death investigation.
