Post-mortem Computed Tomography of Natural Disease
Source: US National Institute of Justice (video statements)
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.

Post-mortem Computed Tomography of Gunshot Wounds

In the third webinar, participants will be introduced to the use of PMCT for examining decedents with gunshot wounds, both homicidal and self-inflicted. At the New Mexico OMI, a PMCT scan is performed in virtually all gunshot wound (GSW) related deaths. In cases of suspected homicide or suspicious suicides, autopsy is also performed. However, in non-suspicious cases involving self-inflicted GSW, PMCT is combined with an external examination, and sometimes a partial autopsy to retrieve a retained projectile, replacing the full autopsy.

Post-mortem Computed Tomography Basics – Facility & Technical Aspects
Source: US National Institute of Justice (video statements)
In the first webinar, participants will be introduced to x-ray computed tomography (CT) and some key differences between CT and traditional x-ray. The basic specifications of a CT scanner (such as bore diameter, maximum image size, and table specifications) will be introduced, with reference to their impact on whole body post-mortem scanning in particular. Basic considerations for deploying a CT scanner in a medical examiner setting (cost, personnel, space, safety) will also be discussed.

Post-mortem Computed Tomography of Blunt Force Injury
Source: US National Institute of Justice (video statements)
This webinar will introduce participants to the use of PMCT in the diagnosis of blunt force trauma. PMCT scan may be used to diagnose fatal trauma in certain situations, allowing an external examination with postmortem CT to supplant an autopsy, which may better honor religious and cultural requests of grieving family members. Non-suspicious, traumatic deaths, such as motor vehicle collisions, are such an example. Additionally, PMCT often provides additional documentation of internal injuries where fatal injuries are obvious on external examination.

Not All Disruptions Are Equal
Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)
While shifting tariff rates and tensions between powers are forcing companies to remain attentive to how they operate, extreme weather events and cyber readiness are known unknowns that can be planned for in a more pragmatic manner.
As disruption becomes the new normal, how are leaders seeing through the noise to stay on track and take action when a response is necessary?
