Postmortem imaging has been used primarily in forensic medicine since 1895. Conventional x‑ray, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used. In studies, sonography is not considered to be of particular value, especially because of postmortem gas formation in adults. We report three cases in which postmortem sonography within three hours of death allowed clarification of a previously unclear cause of death.
自1895年以来，尸检成像主要应用于法医学领域。采用的方法包括传统X线、计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）。在相关研究中，超声检查被认为没有特别价值，尤其是考虑到成人死后会形成气体。我们报告了三例病例，在死亡后三小时内进行的尸检超声检查明确了之前不明的死因。
