About this book
Practitioners of forensic medicine have various tools at their disposal to determine cause of death, and today's computed tomography (CT) can provide valuable clues if images are interpreted properly. This volume is a guide for the forensic pathologist who wants to use CT imaging to assist in determining the mechanism of injury that might have contributed to death. Enhanced with hundreds of CT images that clarify the text and case studies to put the material in context, the book gives a head-to-toe catalogue of various injuries and how they are represented on a CT scan.
