WEBINAR: Spectral, DECT & PMCT
Postmortem CT (PMCT) effectively determines the cause of death, especially from
hemorrhagic causes. Contrast-enhanced PMCT angiography and postmortem MRI have been
reported to detect intravascular embolisms and soft tissue changes, but are not widely used due
to relatively long scan time and expensive cost. As high radiation exposure dosage is not an issue
for a corpse and the body does not move during PMCT, repetitive scanning of the same site is
possible, which adds to the image data of the target site. When this X-ray summation method is applied at
PMCT it is called “fused PMCT”. Our pilot study showed that the fused PMCT reduced image noise
and could delineate the coronary arterial wall and hypostasis in the lumen by scanning the
same site repeatedly.
This webinar will present the fused PMCT procedures and various case studies.
