Since first application of computed tomography (CT) in postmortem examination in 1990, investigators have been discussing the value and advantage of CT in full-body examination in cadaver. CT examination before autopsy is able to provide not only the informations to guide the autopsy, but also the significant findings to analysis the causes of death, which may be not fount in autopsy. This review focuses on the value of CT in analysis of the death causes, injury manners, and personal identifications in postmortem examination as well as its development in the field of forensic medicine. It is our belief that CT in combination with other newly developed technologies will make more contribution to forensic medicine in the future.
自1990年计算机断层扫描（CT）首次应用于尸体解剖检查以来，研究人员一直在讨论CT在尸体全身检查中的价值和优势。尸检前的CT检查不仅能够提供指导尸检的信息，还能提供有助于分析死因的重要发现，而这些发现可能在尸检中无法找到。本文综述聚焦于CT在尸体解剖检查中分析死因、损伤方式和个人身份识别方面的价值及其在法医学领域的发展。我们相信，CT与其他新开发的技术相结合，未来将为法医学做出更大贡献。
