We present a case of a previously healthy, five month old boy who, after a short history of mild abdominal complaints died unexpectedly. In this case no parental permission for a conventional autopsy could be obtained on religious grounds, but a and post mortem CT was consented to and performed. Based on the clinical evaluation combined with PMCT findings a probable cause of death, ileosigmoid knotting, could be established. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)

Fatal aorto-esophageal fistula detected on postmortem computed tomography angiography
Publication date: Available online 23 May 2015 Source:Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging Author(s): B. Fliss , C. Bartsch , P.M. Flach , M.J. Thali , G. Ampanozi The aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare life threatening event, mostly first diagnosed postmortem during the autopsy, although an accurate diagnosis can still be complicated. The postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) including an angiography (PMCTA) is a helpful tool to find the correct diagnosis. This is a case of a fatal gastro-intestinal hemorrhage that occurred due to an aorto-esophageal fistula, diagnosed prior to the conventional autopsy...

Forensic imaging in an unusual postmortem case of sigmoid volvulus
In this report, we present the diagnosis of SV in a deceased 52-year-old female, who presented none of the aforementioned clinical key symptoms, using post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT). PMCT examination showed the typical radiologic signs of SV. The findings from the cross-sectional imaging were validated with a traditional autopsy.

Post-mortem computed tomography visualised fire related post-mortem changes of the head
Publication date: Available online 23 May 2015 Source:Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging Author(s): Guy N Rutty , Frances E Hollingbury , Bruno Morgan As post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) becomes more routinely utilised in day-to-day autopsy practice around the world it is important that those reporting the images are aware of changes that may not be encountered in clinical radiology that can result in the post-mortem period but resemble antemortem pathology. Two cases are presented to illustrate the PMCT findings of three of the four classical changes that occur to the head after death as a result of th...

A look into the past – CT & MRI of wet fixated fetal and neonatal specimen
Conclusions CT and MRI examination of formalin-fixed fetuses is feasible and provides excellent images for research and education. The images thus obtained provide useful aid in understanding diseases by yielding insights into internal structural abnormalities that are not apparent upon visual inspection alone.

Forensic application of the frontal and maxillary sinuses: A literature review
This study aimed to point out the contribution of the frontal and maxillary sinuses for Forensic Sciences, specifically in Forensic Dentistry. For this, a review was performed with 30 articles comprised in the period 2003–2014, about the application of the frontal and maxillary sinuses for human identification and sex determination, using the search words: Frontal Sinus, Maxillary Sinus, Human Identification, Sex Differences. It was observed that the frontal and maxillary sinuses are useful for human identification. In relation to sex determination, there is no agreement about the applicability of the frontal sinus, alth...

Post-mortem CT appearances in pulmonary blast injury secondary to shotgun suicide
Publication date: Available online 23 March 2015 Source:Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging Author(s): Siobhan McLaughlin , Ralph Bouhaidar Blast lung injury is a well documented barotrauma pulmonary pressure insult, often seen in victims and survivors of high pressure extrinsic explosions, such as those caused by extrinsic explosive devices or gas leaks. In this case we present a case of blast lung injury secondary to internal barotrauma, namely suicide by intra-oral shotgun use, and provide correlative post-mortem CT and autopsy images.

Comparison of postmortem ultrasound and X-ray with autopsy in fetal death: Retrospective study of 169 cases
Conclusion Ultrasound allows a comprehensive post-mortem study complementary to standard X-Rays. In fetal deaths situations, US is much more relevant than in any other postmortem conditions. Ultrasound, although less effective than MRI, shows a benefit / drawback balance that proves very interesting, especially in the youngest fetuses. Besides it is more available and realistic to use it in a systematic practice. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)

Mr ultrashort echo time sequence of cremated remains in ancient urns
We report the use of ultrashort echo time (UTE) MR sequence to three cremation urns from the Bronze age from Croatia. MR overcame the problem of the similar densities between soil and bones on the CT and clearly showed superior contrast resolution. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)
