"As the number of traditional autopsies continues to decline and as imaging technology becomes ever more sophisticated, radiological procedures, particularly multi-detector computed tomography, are being adapted for death investigation. These methods have demonstrated importance for detection and documentation of anatomic and pathologic alterations in the setting of un-natural death.... The book is unusually well illustrated through correlation of photographs and radiological images of the highest quality. ... The book is certain to find extended use in training programs and daily death investigation and documentation." --William A. Murphy, Jr., MD, Professor of Radiology and John S. Dunn Sr. Distinguished Chair in Diagnostic Imaging, MD Anderson Cancer Center

"the work is very well done and makes a significant contribution to the literature on the topic....[It] addresses, and is applicable to, the whole range of forensic autopsies. The printing and illustration quality is outstanding." --Joel Lichtenstein, M.D., University of Washington

"I believe that the book will be useful for practicing forensic pathologists. The numerous examples covering a wide variety of forensic cases...illustrate the value of imaging techniques in medicolegal death investigation." -Dr. John Butts, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"Providing readers with a technical and interpretive foundation for applying modern cross-sectional imaging to forensic autopsy, the book integrates more than 300 color autopsy photographs with postmortem CT and radiography in a topical format. Organized by cause of death, the rich pictoral display of case material that accompanies the text establishes a contextual understanding." (Doody's Book Review, 12/10)
