Abstract:
The authors presented the results of postmortem examinations of four cases related to gunfire and post explosion injuries. Prior to "classic" forensic autopsies, the corpses were examined using CT imaging. The findings (injuries and foreign bodies) are presented in the table and in images: 3D reconstructions contrasted with actual autopsy specimens. The enclosed CD includes 3D animations.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
