Abstract
In modern postmortem imaging, the visualization of the vascular system by postmortem angiography is mostly done using multidetector computed tomography (CT). Like clinical radiologic investigations, whole body angiography makes the vascular system visible and allows identification of vascular lesions such as traumatic dissection or rupture. Additionally, the injection of contrast agent enhances soft tissue and aids in the visualization of lesions in organ parenchyma. In this chapter, we describe two methods of whole body postmortem CT angiography (PMCTA) that can be classed in the category of “PMCTA using aqueous contrast agent.”
