摘要: The role of imaging has been long established in forensic practice as an adjunct to the conventional autopsy. Recently with development MDCT, there a large international push towards so called “near virtual autopsy.” Currently obstacle acceptance autopsies” is failure post-mortem yield detailed information about coronary arteries. This major deficiency MDCT and MRI compared autopsy standard clinical angiography relies on circulation. One possible way overcome this by use angiography. review paper considers past, current future advances cadaver cardiac which, if successful, will take radiological one step closer widespread introduction near autopsies.
