Solomon N, Gascho D, Adolphi NL, Filograna L, Sanchez H, Gill JR, Elifritz J. The evolution of postmortem investigation: a historical perspective on autopsy’s decline and imaging’s role in its revival. Frontiers in Radiology. 2025;5:1565012. doi: 10.3389/fradi.2025.1565012.
This episode delves into the decline of traditional autopsy and the growing role of postmortem imaging (PMI) in forensic medicine. The authors trace the history of death investigation, highlight the diagnostic value of imaging tools like PMCT, and argue for integrated approaches to improve public health, preserve clinical accuracy, and support the overstretched forensic pathology workforce.
