Abstract Interpreting fetal and pediatric post-mortem imaging remains challenging. One of the most important aspects of post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) and post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMRI) image interpretation is to be able to confidently differentiate ante-mortem pathology from the range of normal post-mortem changes that occur. In this article, we discuss the normal post-mortem findings in fetal and pediatric imaging for the central nervous system, thorax, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system, and the limitations of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in post-mortem imaging.

The term necropsy is generally used An autopsy (also referred to as post-mortem examination, obduction, necropsy, or autopsia cadaverum) is a surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse by dissection to determine the cause, mode, and manner of death; or the exam may be performed to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present for research or educational purposes. The term necropsy is generally used for non-human animals. Autopsies are usually performed by a specialized medical doctor called a pathologist. Only a small portion of deaths require an autopsy to be performed, under certain circumstances. In most cases, a medical examiner or coroner can determine the cause of death. Manner of death must be determined Determine if death was natural or unnatural Injury source and extent on the corpse Post mortem interval Determining the deceased's identity Retain relevant organs If it is an infant, determine live birth and viability For example, a forensic autopsy is carried out when the cause of death may be a criminal matter, while a clinical or academic autopsy is performed to find the medical cause of death and is used in cases of unknown or uncertain death, or for research purposes. Autopsies can be further classified into cases where an external examination suffices, and those where the body is dissected and an internal examination is conducted. Permission from next of kin may be required for internal autopsy in some cases. Once an internal autopsy is complete, the body is reconstituted by sewing it back together. A forensic autopsy is used to determine the cause, mode, and manner of death. Forensic science involves the application of the sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system. Medical examiners attempt to determine the time of death, the exact cause of death, and what, if anything, preceded the death, such as a struggle. A forensic autopsy may include obtaining biological specimens from the deceased for toxicological testing, including stomach contents. Toxicology tests may reveal the presence of one or more chemical "poisons" (all chemicals, in sufficient quantities, can be classified as a poison) and their quantity. Because post-mortem… A…
