abstract="Post-mortem computed tomography (CT) can provide useful insights into coronial and forensic pathological investigation of the fire-damage victim. Understanding the pathological changes that can occur in fatalities caused by fire, particularly in relation to fire damage to the body, is paramount in attempting to distinguish ante-mortem and peri-mortem blunt traumatic injuries from fire-related damage to the body. Understanding the fire-damage features on post-mortem CT may also assist in determining cause of the fire and associated fire-damage. Although the requirements of radiological evaluation in post-mortem imaging are very different to those of day-to-day clinical ante-mortem imaging, foremost is a high-resolution CT protocol of the entire body in order to fulfil the requirements and expectations of such imaging and radiological interpretation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
