Abstract
This updated review considers how cross-sectional imaging, principally but not exclusively, post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) can be and is used globally in forensic pathology practice today. It touches upon the origin of forensic radiology, the introduction to practice of PMCT and questions the invasive autopsy as the gold standard for death investigation. It considers, in broad terms, the role of cross-sectional imaging in the four investigative areas of who, where, when and how a person came by their death. It summarises with a view as to where we go next, specifically in terms of practitioner training and accreditation.
期刊介绍：
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
