Postmortem computed tomography-based evaluation of brain decomposition: Correlation with postmortem interval and cause-of-death determinability

Key Points

• Brain decomposition correlates significantly with postmortem interval, aiding in determining cause of death.
• The analysis indicates that imaging techniques can enhance forensic investigations by providing critical data.
• Postmortem computed tomography offers a non-invasive method to evaluate brain conditions after death.
• Findings underscore the importance of integrating CT imaging in modern forensic pathology for better accuracy.
