Introduction: Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) diving deaths have always been a challenge for forensic pathologists. Post-mortem computer tomography (PMCT) allows intracorporeal gas visualization, contributing to identify the cases in which the cause of death is arterial gas embolism (AGE). However, in the literature, it is in...

Introduction: Since industrialization and the implementation of machinery’s use in various kinds of work Forensic Pathologists have had to face different types of work-related injuries. In the agricultural and forestry sector, tractors and self-propelled machinery are involved in many fatal accidents. In these cases, roll and runover accidents repr...

Background: Post Mortem Computed Tomography (PMCT) is being increasingly implemented in forensic field and could be an adjuvant to classic autopsies. In this study we evaluated the feasibility of complementation of conventional autopsy in trauma victims with PMCT. Materials and methods: A total of 21 subjects, who had sustained various types of...

Computed tomography (CT) and other advanced diagnostic imaging techniques are gaining popularity in forensic pathology. This paper aims to define and offer complete and easily accessible “state of the art” for post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT), by reviewing the latest international literature. The proposed format answers the “five Ws” that fol...

... Tumor budding is recognized as a prognostic feature for primary colorectal cancer. In fact, although TNM classification remains the gold standard for prognostic stratification of colorectal cancer patients, heterogeneity in survival within the same stages required additional markers [23][24][25][26]. Several authors have found tumor budding to be independently associated with disease recurrence, cancer-related death and reduced overall survival (OS) [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. ...
... Furthermore, both techniques could detect further bone fractures in body parts difficult to investigate during autopsy (i.e. posterior regions), facilitating the pathologist in the reconstruction of events and in determining the cause of death in evaluating trauma victims [14]. In addition to improving diagnostic accuracy, planning, follow-up and clinical decision making for complex clinical cases, a series of cases illustrate the value of VR and MPR techniques in teaching and research [15][16][17][18]. ...
... 1,2 In particular, post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is now often performed as standard. [3][4][5][6] Post-mortem computed tomography angiography (PMCTA) has also shown to be superior to conventional autopsy in the search for vascular occlusions or bleeding sources. 7,8 In the context of technical progress, not only 2D but also 3D visualisation of PMCT and PMCTA datasets are often produced. ...
