Identification

The first step in any forensic examination is the identification of the human remains. This can be a difficult task, especially if the body is badly decomposed or disfigured. However, there are a number of techniques that can be used to identify human remains, including:

Visual examination: This involves looking at the body and identifying any distinctive features, such as scars, tattoos, or birthmarks.
Dental examination: This involves examining the teeth and comparing them to dental records.
DNA analysis: This involves comparing the DNA of the body to the DNA of known relatives.

Post Mortem Imaging

Once the body has been identified, the next step is to perform a post mortem imaging examination. This involves using a variety of imaging techniques to create images of the body's internal organs and tissues. Post mortem imaging can be used to:

Determine the cause of death: By looking at the images of the body's internal organs, forensic pathologists can determine the cause of death.
Identify injuries: Post mortem imaging can be used to identify injuries that may have been sustained before death.
Document the condition of the body: Post mortem imaging can be used to document the condition of the body at the time of death.

Other Aspects of Forensic Examination

In addition to identification and post mortem imaging, forensic examination also includes a number of other aspects, such as:

Toxicology: This involves testing the body for the presence of drugs or poisons.
Microscopy: This involves examining the body's tissues under a microscope.
Anthropology: This involves studying the body's bones and other skeletal remains.

Forensic examination is a complex and challenging field, but it is also a fascinating and rewarding one. From Identification to Post Mortem Imaging is the essential guide to this fascinating field. This comprehensive book covers all aspects of forensic examination, making it essential reading for anyone involved in the investigation of death.
