In the fifth webinar, participants will be introduced to the use of PMCT in the investigation of natural deaths. At the New Mexico OMI, a PMCT scan may be used to rule out trauma in apparently natural deaths, or to confirm a natural cause of death. Depending on investigative details (circumstances, age, and medical history), and the PMCT findings, pathologists may choose to perform an external exam or a full autopsy.
This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on May 11, 2021.
