ABSTRACT

Bringing the long tradition of radiologic pathologic correlation to forensic radiology and autopsy, this volume provides readers with a technical and interpretive foundation for applying modern cross-sectional imaging to forensic autopsy. The book integrates more than 300 color images with basic forensic pathology in a topical format. The rich pictorial display of case material that accompanies the text establishes a contextual understanding of the material. Following an introduction to basic concepts and a review of imaging techniques, chapters are organized by cause of death. The atlas-like presentation is supported by full text explanations that review relevant forensic and radiologic principles.
