Abstract:
Mass disasters such as e.g., plane or train crash, shipping accidents or huge explosions in the region of Slovak Republic are not very often, but in spite of this fact sometimes they occur. Such a terrible event--a destructive detonation of non-specified amount of explosives, happened on 2nd March 2007 in the Military Repairing Enterprise in Novaky, Slovak Republic, by which the whole enterprise was almost totally destroyed, many employees were injured and eight persons died due to consequences of the explosion. Investigation of this disaster took several months, and parts of dead bodies were found in following weeks during the ruins removal; authors describe the autopsy findings on the explosion victim's bodies and the possibilities of unknown human remains identification found in the area of the detonation often provided only by DNA analysis.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
