Article Synopsis
- The number of autopsies in Japan is declining, leading to increased reliance on postmortem imaging like CT and MRI as alternative methods for determining cause of death.
- A case study of a 41-year-old suicide victim showed specific CT and MRI findings, including thyroid cartilage fractures and brain imaging changes that were deemed normal postmortem alterations.
- The absence of significant injuries, drug evidence, or other pathological findings allowed clinicians to conclude that the cause of death was hanging without conducting an autopsy, emphasizing the need to understand normal imaging changes during postmortem examinations.
