To explore the application of imaging techniques in determining the death cause and injury manner.
One case due to high fall was fully examined using multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT), 3-D imaging creation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The systemic and detailed autopsy was subsequently performed to compare with the results from imaging studies. The advantages and disadvantages of autopsy and imaging studies were then analyzed.
Most of the important information such as trauma, fracture and hemorrhage could be obtained by imaging techniques. Furthermore, imaging methods can predict injuries in internal body before autopsy and be minimal or non-invasive to the cadaver. However, the imaging techniques probably also can not find some details in comparison to autopsy in forensic practice and need to improve in their future application.
Application of imaging techniques can be used as the guidance and complimentary for the forensic autopsy in the identification of injury manner. In addition, the application can even be used to replace autopsy in some special circumstances.
探讨成像技术在确定死因和损伤方式中的应用。
对1例高处坠落案例采用多层螺旋计算机断层扫描（MSCT）、三维成像重建及磁共振成像（MRI）进行全面检查。随后进行系统详细的尸体解剖，以与影像学检查结果进行比较。然后分析尸体解剖和影像学检查的优缺点。
成像技术可获取创伤、骨折和出血等大部分重要信息。此外，成像方法可在尸体解剖前预测体内损伤情况，且对尸体的损伤极小或无创。然而，在法医实践中，与尸体解剖相比，成像技术可能也无法发现某些细节，在未来应用中有待改进。
成像技术的应用可为法医尸体解剖鉴定损伤方式提供指导和补充。此外，在某些特殊情况下，该应用甚至可用于替代尸体解剖。
