Abstract
Despite being a very new field, forensic imaging is rapidly being used in forensicmedical practices around the world. Computed tomography images are being producedand used for many reasons. Forensic imaging is being used for preliminaryexamination of serious findings before a routine autopsy, as it might help to give positiveproof in some cases. Some major preliminary findings, such as brain hemorrhage,cardiac tamponade, or aortic dissection, can then be substantiated with the results ofthe physical autopsy. Forensic imaging techniques may also provide additive evidenceabout the cause of death such as pneumothorax, ileus, gas embolism, andaspiration that are difficult to detect with the traditional surgical autopsy techniques.Forensic imaging is also proving useful outside the autopsy room; forensic anthropologistsand odontologists are using images to help them determine the age, sex, andeven lifestyle of human specimens. Finally, forensic images have also begun to functionas a form of record keeping in complex cases.
