Abstract

In a case of a single penetrating gunshot injury to the chest, all of the available imaging and imaging-related methods that are routinely used and indicated for reconstructive purposes were applied. These methods included postmortem computed tomography (PMCT), PMCT-angiography, PMCT with postmortem ventilation, postmortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMR), PMMR-angiography, postmortem magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and three-dimensional surface documentation. This report offers a broad spectrum of imaging data of the same case; therefore, this report constitutes a case-based overview of contemporary postmortem imaging. © 2020
