Applying augmented reality during a forensic autopsy—Microsoft HoloLens as a DICOM viewer
We present an approach to overcome the limitations of current systems for displaying medical image data during autopsy. The presented system uses augmented reality to display DICOM image stacks with basic functionality. In addition, we report the first test of the system during autopsy.

Very affordable post mortem CT angiography kit: feasibility study using immersion pump and 3D printed parts
Publication date: Available online 12 December 2018Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and ImagingAuthor(s): Wolf Schweitzer, Markus Enders, Michael ThaliAbstractThe high cost of commercial components and parts for post-mortem computed tomography angiography (PMCTA) has resulted in the development of a very low cost PMCTA-kit. It contains ubiquitous parts from hardware stores, and rapid prototyping derived models for 3D-printing. Design specifications have been tested and improved after finite-element modeling. A case study performed in using the final PMCTA kit parts for a PMCTA shows perfect vascular contrast without r...

Is abdominal x-ray (AXR) or computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen the most appropriate imaging modality for the detection of illegal substances concealed, taking into consideration the sensitivity, specificity and radiation dose?
Publication date: Available online 13 December 2018Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and ImagingAuthor(s): Kiki Lan, Edel DoyleAbstractBody packing is the internal concealment of illicit substances within the alimentary tract with the intention of smuggling them across borders and evading law enforcement. Medical imaging plays an important role in the management of suspected body packers through the identification of drug packets, as well as recognising medical complications. This literature review aims to determine whether abdominal radiography (AXR) or computed tomography [CT] is the most appropriate imaging modality...

Diffusely decreased liver attenuation on post-mortem computed tomography: comparison with ante-mortem computed tomography and autopsy findings
We present two cases of diffusely decreased liver attenuation on post-mortem computed tomography (CT) which is lower than that on ante-mortem CT. Cases include a 37-year-old female whose cause of death was related to myelodysplastic syndrome (Case #1) and an 88-year-old female whose cause of death was related to malignant lymphoma (Case #2). We compared post-mortem CT (PMCT) liver attenuations with those on ante-mortem CT (AMCT). For Case #1, average AMCT values of the right/left liver were 46.1/50.0 Hounsfield Units (HU) 2 days ante-mortem and PMCT values of the right/left liver were 33.9/38.4 HU 3 hours post-mortem. For ...

Role of PMCT as a triage tool between external inspection and full autopsy – Case series and review
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging, Volume 15Author(s): Vasiliki Chatzaraki, Jakob Heimer, Michael Thali, Annika Dally, Wolf SchweitzerAbstractPostmortem computed tomography (PMCT) provides significant information with regard to specific forensic questions for the determination of manner and cause of death. After the external examination of a body, PMCT appears to be a valuable tool for imaging-based decision making whether conducting an autopsy is necessary. Within that domain of application, a series of ten cases is presented to qualitatively highlight the current state of th...

Is dual-energy computed tomography helpful to determinate the ferromagnetic property of bullets?
ConclusionDECT, found a difference between this ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic bullets samples using an extended HU, but because of several limitations in this study there is no cut-off DEI value to differentiate these two groups of bullets. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)

The development of forensic imaging in Italy. A systematic review of the literature
ConclusionsThe results of this study showed an increase of forensic imaging in Italy in the last years. However, a review of the literature demonstrated that imaging techniques are not yet exhaustively adopted by the Italian forensic community, and that further research is needed to provide information about the accuracy of forensic imaging techniques with respect to autopsy.

Association of the gonial angle with age, gender, and dental status: a radiographic study using lateral cephalogram and orthopantomogram.
ConclusionThe gonial angle values in orthopantomogram and lateral cephalogram differ significantly. The gonial angle from orthopantomogram can be used for age estimation and that from lateral cephalogram can be used for gender determination. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)
