This paper focuses on the use of multi-detector row dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in the evaluation of postmortal examinations. The use of dual energy moves postmortem CT to an entirely new dimension of diagnostic sensitivity where contrast in the image is not merely limited to X-ray attenuation differences, but may include elements of functional and tissue characterization. This additional information may be used to improve the benefit postmortem imaging can provide to supplement and simplify the conventional autopsy.
本文重点介绍了多排探测器双能计算机断层扫描（DECT）在死后检查评估中的应用。使用双能技术使死后 CT 检查进入了一个全新的诊断灵敏度维度，在这个维度中，图像中的对比度不仅限于 X 射线衰减差异，还可能包括功能和组织特征的元素。这些额外的信息可用于提高死后成像的益处，以补充和简化传统的尸体解剖。
