The Current Status of Virtual Autopsy Using Combined Imaging Modalities: A Scoping Review

The main imaging modalities used for postmortem imaging were computed tomography (PMCT), angiography (PMCTA), magnetic resonance imaging (PMMRI), and ultrasonography (PMUS), which are valuable for evaluating vascular lesions, particularly in natural death cases.

Water-responsive supercontractile polymer films for bioelectronic interfaces

Connecting different electronic devices is usually straightforward because they have paired, standardized interfaces, in which the shapes and sizes match each other perfectly. Tissue–electronics…

COULD THE ACUTE STRONGYLOIDES VENEZUELENSIS INFECTION CAUSE NON-REVERSIBLE HOST MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES?

An organ morphometric analysis in Wistar rats infected with the intestinal parasite Strongyloides venezuelensis compared with infected rats treated with ivermectin showed significantly higher body and fecal weight in the infected-treated group, indicating the possibility of non-reversible host morphological adaptations.

Non-invasive methods in autopsy in practice of pathologists and forensic experts: from the appearance to the present day

The literature analysis allows us to conclude that the level of imaging accuracy and frequency of successful interpretations of post-mortem radiological examinations have increased significantly, the fact being associated both with an improved quality of X-ray optical and scanning equipment, and formation of a relatively extensive database containing previously obtained findings.

Contactless Electrocardiogram Monitoring With Millimeter Wave Radar

This paper develops a millimeter-wave radar system to contactlessly measure cardiac mechanical activity and reconstruct ECG without any contact in, and designs a deep neural network to solve the cardiac related domain transformation problem and achieve end-to-end reconstruction mapping from RF input to the ECG output.

Left Ventricle Heart Three Dimension Mechanical Simulation for Kinetic Energy

The left ventricular wall movement and deformation induced by the movement of the cardiac wall were analyzed in the simulation using theleft ventricular model to obtain the place of the peak kinetic energy.

Optimum Placement of Piezo-Polymer Power Harvester for Epicardial Pacemaker

The left ventricular wall motion and deformation caused by the cardiac wall movements have been analysed based on the left ventricle model in the simulation to get the location of the maximum kinetic energy formed.

Chest X-ray interpretation

The chest X-ray is a common, low-cost investigation that is an important aid in cardiovascular disease diagnosis and although newer, more sophisticated modalities of imaging are available, chestX-ray still plays an important role in this diagnosis.

This review should facilitate the implementation of a high-quality protocol that enables standardized reporting in morgues, associated hospitals or private practices that perform forensic scans to provide the same quality that clinical scans provide in court.

Cardiothoracic ratio in postmortem computed tomography: reliability and threshold for the diagnosis of cardiomegaly

Evaluating the reliability of the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) in postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and to assess a CTR threshold for the diagnosis of cardiomegaly based on the weight of the heart at autopsy found it useful if PMCT is used by forensic pathologists as a screening tool for medico-legal autopsies.
