[CT-scanning as a routine examination before Medico-Legal autopsy].
CT-scanning was introduced before Medico-Legal autopsy at the Institute of Forensic Medicine, Copenhagen in 2002. 525 bodies are included in the present series. CT-scanning was most valuable in demonstrating foreign bodies (bullets, osteosynthesis-material, etc), bone fractures, certain intracranial lesions, haematomas, haemorrhages and fluid in the body cavities. The scanner produced very useful evidence and documentation for use in court cases.
