As the demand increases for postmortem cross-sectional imaging in forensic/digital autopsy, this new two-day course will take a closer look at forensic and postmortem scanning and best practices for radiologists reporting on virtual autopsy.
Covering postmortem CT (PMCT), the course will develop interpretation and reporting skills through reviewing a range of postmortem radiology scans for the investigation of (mainly) nonsuspicious death. The course will also feature some forensic sessions with a case review. In addition, it will take a look at more recent PMCT techniques, including angiography and guided biopsy.
Led by Sarah Fleming, consultant radiologist at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the session will review a range of cases to support attendees in increasing their knowledge of PMCT in correlating the pathological artifacts of death, and the ability to recognize forensically significant PMCT findings. We’ll also look at some of the limitations of PMCT and review how MRI is used effectively to determine the cause of death. Joining Sarah to speak on this course will be Ms Laura Howlett, Dr Rachel Bolton-King, and Paul Hunter, to just name a few.
As a result of this course, participants should feel confident in recognizing what is a normal pathological change to feel more confident in investigating further.
