“…Air appears very dark, close to black. Hence, CT scans not only detect foreign bodies enclosed in remains 117 , for example splinters, bullets and knife blades, but also reveal trauma 118 , such as haemorrhages, lacerations and fractures, and pathology, like tumours, surgical stitches and prostheses 119 .…”

A forensic autopsy traditionally provides a detailed overview of soft tissue and organ injuries related to traumatic death [1].Displaced osseous injuries of the extremities can be reliably detected by deformity or abnormal mobility. During an autopsy, dissection of osseous tissues is only a standard procedure for the skull, spine, and thoracic skeleton. Thus, the craniocervical junction and the posterior pelvic ring remain "blind spots" during a conventional autopsy. However, pelvic fracture patterns may aid

“…Several studies explore and describe various ways and techniques in which different radiology techniques can be used in a medico-legal and ballistic context. In one of these, the authors describe the present (2019) state of affairs around various imaging modalities in medico-legal context [ 139 ]. They conclude that these ever improving techniques are valuable complementary tools but no substitute for an autopsy in most instances.…”
