Use of postmortem radiographs for the investigation of underwater and hyperbaric deaths
| Title: | Use of postmortem radiographs for the investigation of underwater and hyperbaric deaths |
| Author: | Calder, IM |
| Abstract: | The use of postmortem radiographs as a useful adjunct in the investigation of hyperbaric and immersion deaths is discussed. This technique enables accurate identification of gas within cavities that otherwise could not be detected at routine autopsy, which may also be artifact. In addition it is possible to define bone lesions that need a histologic diagnosis.
