Post mortem examination of a dead body is carried out to gain insight into the disease process as well as for forensic application of medical knowledge. Although different specialists viz; pathologists and forensic medicine experts, carry out autopsy for these two purposes, on many occasions there may be overlap of these two fields of medicine. A comparative analysis of both these categories of autopsies, namely clinical autopsy and medico legal autopsy, is done in this article with the intention of equipping the specialists in these two fields of medicine with knowledge about the other.
对尸体进行尸检是为了深入了解疾病过程以及将医学知识应用于法医领域。尽管不同的专家，即病理学家和法医学专家，出于这两个目的进行尸检，但在很多情况下，这两个医学领域可能会有重叠。本文对这两类尸检，即临床尸检和法医学尸检进行了比较分析，目的是让这两个医学领域的专家了解彼此的知识。
