Fifty-one intact corpses were examined with the EMI head scanner from 1 1/2-52 hours after death; 15 of these had antemortem CT scans. Seven had sequential postmortem CT scans. CT scans and autopsy findings for lateral ventricular size and sulcal width were compared. The lateral ventricular size generally, and the sulcal width occasionally, became smaller after death, though the decrease was usually mild. This decrease was demonstrated not only on antemortem and postmortem sequential CT scans, but on postmortem sequential CT scans alone as well.
对51具完整尸体在死后1.5至52小时用EMI头部扫描仪进行了检查；其中15例生前进行过CT扫描。7例进行了连续的死后CT扫描。比较了侧脑室大小和脑沟宽度的CT扫描结果与尸检结果。死后侧脑室大小总体上会变小，脑沟宽度偶尔也会变小，不过这种减小通常很轻微。这种减小不仅在生前和死后连续CT扫描中可见，仅在死后连续CT扫描中也能显示出来。
