Conventional radiography with a 35-year-old, portable radiographic unit, a Polaroid processing system, and various speed intensity screens was used to survey an adipocere cadaver. Since the specimen could not be moved, positional strategies that might be used for an immobile emergency room trauma victim were employed to assess skeletal components, and organ and artifact locations.
