Summary
Postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aids in investigating child abuse fatalities. Combining MRI with autopsy provides valuable insights, detecting injuries missed by either method alone.
Area of Science:
- Forensic Pathology
- Radiology
- Pediatric Medicine
Background:
- Child abuse fatalities require accurate postmortem investigation.
- Traditional autopsy may miss subtle traumatic brain injuries.
