Introductory Course in Post-Mortem Computed Tomography Imaging
- (c) EMFPU
The UK’s First Forensic Imaging Course
This series of three one-day courses is designed to introduce professionals to the use of computed tomography (CT) in the investigation of sudden death.
The University of Leicester is the UK’s leading research centre in the use of post-mortem CT imaging with a wealth of experience in both unenhanced imaging and angiography.
Day 1 - Introduction to Post-Mortem Imaging
9 October 2012
Aimed at Radiologists, Pathologists, HM Coroners, Radiographers and any other interested parties, Day 1 of the course is designed as an overall introduction to the topic of CT scanning in autopsy practice.
This day of lectures covers the use of CT in the investigation of deaths due to natural disease as well as its use in suspicious death investigation and mass fatality incidents. The problems encountered in setting up a post-mortem imaging service will be addressed and there will be ample opportunity to discuss any queries you may have.
