Gunshot wounds to the head: a comparison of postmortem magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and autopsy.

Background: Postmortem imaging has become a powerful diagnostic tool in forensics. Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) is often used currently to complement and sometimes even replace an autopsy.

Purpose: To compare PMCT, postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMRI), and autopsy findings for gunshot wounds to the head.
