“…For example, the scanners were developed for the production of optimal images of smooth surfaces. They were not constructed for scanning a surface such as human skin [ 107 ]. Also, scanning a dark or reflecting surface can be difficult.…”

Modern post-mortem investigations use an increasing number of digital imaging methods, which can be collected under the term “post-mortem imaging”. Most methods of forensic imaging are from the radiology field and are therefore techniques that show the interior of the body with technologies such as X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging. To digitally image the surface of the body, other techniques are regularly applied, e.g. three-dimensional (3D) surface scanning (3DSS) or photogrammetry. Today's most frequently used techniques include post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT), post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMR), post-mortem computed tomographic angiography (PMCTA) and 3DSS or photogrammetry. Each of these methods has specific advantages and limitations. Therefore, the indications for using each method are different. While PMCT gives a rapid overview of the interior of the body and depicts the skeletal system and radiopaque foreign bodies, PMMR allows investigation of soft tissues and parenchymal organs. PMCTA is the method of choice for viewing the vascular system and detecting sources of bleeding. However, none of those radiological methods allow a detailed digital view of the body's surface, which makes 3DSS the best choice for such a purpose. If 3D surface scanners are not available, photogrammetry is an alternative. This review article gives an overview of different imaging techniques and explains their applications, advantages and limitations. We hope it will improve understanding of the methods.

“…M. Grassberger et al [12] regards the CT images and 3D reconstruction as the useful tool in clinical forensic casework. In short, the application of medical imaging data and direct 3D reconstructions are becoming more and more recognized by forensic experts [2,4,5,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…Medical imaging technologies have been an important and commonly used tool in forensic science [1][2][3][4][5][6], as it is nondestructive, visualizing, and documenting complete information [1]. In forensic autopsy practices, the forensic pathologist always needs to assess the injury locations, degrees and morphologies of soft tissues, bones and intracorporeal organs, to analyze the cause of death and injury mechanisms.…”
