TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Imaging for homicide investigations JO - Radiologia medica, La A1 - Woźniak, Krzysztof A1 - Moskała, Artur A1 - Rzepecka-Woźniak, Ewa SP - 846 EP - 855 VL - 120 IS - 9 N2 - The authors present the opportunities of the application of post-mortem imaging, focusing on post-mortem computed tomography and post-mortem computed tomography angiography in modern forensic investigation of homicide cases. The paper is based on scientific publications related to the subject from ca. the past 10 years, supplemented by the authors' own experiences. The article is illustrated with reconstructions based on the authors' own cases related to homicide due to ballistic/sharp/blunt trauma. As is shown, the results of evaluation of post-mortem computed tomography allow better diagnosis, documentation and visualisation of forensic examinations.
