All too often, forensic pathologists perform autopsies that are limited only to the body parts that are suspect, leading to biased and inaccurate results. This title offers a step-by-step, photo-assisted guide to complete autopsy procedures. It explores external cadaver examination, organ removal methods, and laboratory procedures.
All too often, forensic pathologists perform autopsies that are limited only to the body parts that are suspect, leading to biased and inaccurate results. A correct diagnosis for cause of death can only be reached by a strict and systematic examination of the whole body. Providing a step-by-step, photo-assisted guide to complete autopsy procedures, Forensic Autopsy: A Handbook and Atlas commands the field in offering the most advanced and complete resource of its kind.





Packed with more color photos than any other leading autopsy reference, this volume explores:











External cadaver examination
Organ removal methods
Laboratory procedures
Microscopy applications
New imaging techniques
Pediatric and fetal autopsy
Pre- and postautopsy procedures
Genetic disease and DNA diagnosis
Autopsy protocol for the examination of the vertebral artery








From macroscopic to microscopic approaches, this volume provides detailed guidelines for performance of autopsy on every part of the human body. Using these standardized protocols and with the proper knowledge, training, and experience, pathologists can develop the skill needed to become experts in their field.
