This superbly illustrated book examines all aspects of the use of modern post-mortem imaging in forensic investigations, which has flourished since the introduction of multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Readers will find guidance on the applications of all relevant imaging modalities and contrast media. Analogies and differences between forensic and clinical imaging are highlighted, and it is explained what lessons forensic imaging holds for clinical radiology, and vice versa. The remainder of the book comprehensively documents the typical “normal” post-mortem findings and the imaging presentations in various forms of trauma and nontraumatic forensic cases, including those in which medical liability may be an issue. The authors are radiologists and forensic radiologists from across the world who have extensive experience in post-mortem imaging. The book is primarily intended for forensic pathologists, radiologists, and radiographers seeking practical information on forensic imaging, but it will also be of interest to others, such as lawyers, who encounter this specialty during their professional activities.

Die Anforderung im medizinischen Alltag rechtlich relevante Sachverhalte, etwa nach Gewalt im häuslichen Umfeld zu erkennen und zeitgemäß richtig zu handeln ist in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen. Es sind in der Regel klinisch tätige Ärzte, Angehörige der Pflegeberufe und nichtmedizinische Laien wie Polizeibeamte und Mitarbeiter von Opferschutzeinrichtungen, die als erste mit Opfern in Kontakt treten und so einen wesentlichen Anteil an der Erkennung sowie an Verlauf und Ausgang der interdisziplinären Betreuung haben. Die Herausgeber, klinisch-forensisch erfahrene Rechtsmediziner, legen mit diesem Buch gemeinsam mit einem interdisziplinären Autoren-Team einen umfassenden Praxisleitfaden für Ärzte aller Fachrichtungen, Pflegeberufe sowie andere Berufsgruppen mit Kontakt zu Betroffenen vor. Der Praxisleitfaden beleuchtet unter anderem die Themenkomplexe Gewalt gegen Kinder, Erwachsene und ältere Personen, Sexualdelikte, Dokumentation und Beweismittelsicherung, Bildgebende Verfahren, Toxikologie, Selbstbeschädigung sowie zahlreiche weitere klinisch-forensisch relevante Aspekte.
