Principles of fetal postmortem ultrasound: A personal review
We describe the experience of our department in 20 years of postmortem fetal ultrasounds. Through more than a thousand cases analyzed, we describe the technique and images obtained by post-mortem ultrasound in the particular setting of fetal death. We will discuss its abilities and limitations. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)

Non-specific post-mortem modifications on whole-body post-mortem computed tomography in sudden unexpected death in infancy
Conclusion Non-specific post-mortem signs are rare and new to clinical paediatric radiologists. They should be aware of these signs when interpreting whole-body PMCT images in cases of sudden unexpected death in infancy or childhood in order to avoid pitfalls that may have a critical impact.

Perinatal death: Is there a place for post-mortem angio-CT?
Conclusion Perinatal PMCTA is feasible and provides additional data compared to prenatal imaging. We strongly believe it is a very promising technique, especially in association with ultrasound, more or less dedicated brain MRI. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)

The Basics of disaster victim identification
Publication date: Available online 30 January 2015 Source:Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging Author(s): A.L. Brough , B. Morgan , G.N. Rutty Mass fatality incidents can occur due to an environmental, medical, vehicle, industrial or terrorist event. They can be major, mass or catastrophic in size and generally involve large numbers of victims. Identification of these victims is of upmost importance in these situations for legal and compassionate reasons. Whilst radiography has been used for this purpose since 1949, it has since been suggested that post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) could provide a more rap...

A demonstration of appearance and union times of three shoulder ossification centers in adolescent and post-adolescent children
This study fills that niche by recording the appearance and, or, union times of the proximal humerus, acromial process and coracoid angle/apex. Shoulder radiographs from 264 males and 189 females between the ages of 10 to 21 years were examined. These images were obtained via two sources including the Michigan State University’s Clinical Center as well as Query Patricia, an online juvenile radiographic database. Developmental progress of each element was divided into a unique staging system based on the extent to which that center could be visualized. Observations were recorded for each of the three elements and their ag...
