title: Utilization of the postmortem examination with emphasis on audiovisual aids.
abstract: With the present trend in decreased requests for autopsies to be performed, the method of plastination and videotaping coupled with more traditional teaching methods provides a way to expand the information and knowledge that may be obtained from each autopsy in an academic medical center. Plastinated specimens and videotapes can be retained on a permanent basis to be used over and over, with nearly the same impact as the original autopsy.
