At the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine the forensic pathologist provides expert medical advice to the Coroner. Cases of natural death from hemopericardium and hemothorax are reasonably common in the forensic setting and are readily identifiable on postmortem CT (PMCT) scanning. The management of these cases raises interesting and challenging issues for the forensic pathologist. We present three cases in which PMCT angiography was useful in the management of each individual case and illustrate the potential of the technique in medico-legal death investigation.
在维多利亚法医研究所，法医病理学家会向验尸官提供专业医学建议。在法医环境中，因心包积血和血胸导致的自然死亡病例相当常见，并且在尸体计算机断层扫描（PMCT）中很容易识别。这些病例的处理给法医病理学家带来了有趣且具有挑战性的问题。我们展示了三例PMCT血管造影在每个病例处理中发挥作用的案例，并阐述了该技术在法医学死亡调查中的潜力。
