Technical note: An optimized protocol for standard unenhanced whole-body post-mortem Photon Counting CT imaging.

In recent years, Photon-counting detector CT (PCD CT) has emerged as a new and groundbreaking technology in clinical radiology. While clinical research and practical applications of PCD-CT are constantly evolving, it has not yet been integrated into post-mortem CT (PMCT) imaging. Documented research into the potential applications of PCD CT in the field of post-mortem human forensic pathology and anatomical pathology is scarce in literature.

Diagnosis of pulmonary infarction in post-mortem computed tomography and post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging-a technical note.

Pulmonary thromboembolism may be accompanied by pulmonary infarction. Even though pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a frequently found cause of death at autopsy, pulmonary infarction accompanying PTE is a less common finding and may therefore easily be misinterpreted as infectious or cancerous lung disease. Appearance of pulmonary infarction in post-mortem imaging and acquisition parameters helping to identify pulmonary infarctions are not described yet.
