OBJECTIVE. This article illustrates the MDCT postmortem imaging features that have the potential to enhance forensic investigation and conventional autopsy. CONCLUSION. MDCT may guide, direct, or limit forensic autopsy in projectile injury cases, thereby eliminating the need for a complete invasive autopsy.
