Objective: Experimental fatal models were prepared to investigate the time-related course of lung changes using postmortem CT (PMCT). This study was approved by our institutional animal ethics committee.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four NZW rabbits (female 24, 2.
Postmortem CT (PMCT) is increasingly used in forensic practice, and knowledge and classification of typical hemopericardium on PMCT would help to assure correct radiological interpretation. The goal of this study was to evaluate the pericardial and pleural space fluid volumetry, and to evaluate the signs on PMCT pointing to cardiac tamponade as the cause of death, and their pitfalls. Fourteen cadavers (eleven male, three female, 49-87 [mean, 70.

- Postmortem CT (PMCT) is gaining popularity in forensic practice, enabling better interpretation of images through the classification of typical findings.
- A study examined 12 cadavers to track changes in chest findings over time, looking at volumes of pleural space fluid, lung aeration, and chest cavity.
- Results showed significant increases in pleural space fluid and decreased aeration after about 30 to 40 hours postmortem, indicating distinct time-related patterns in postmortem findings.
We have developed a technique of CT-guided needle placement in the destructed human body in forensic practice. A sixty-year-old male was found in a burned car and he was also destructed severely. Although blood was needed for the external examination, it was difficult to approach the vessels because of the severely burned condition of the cadaver.
