Abstract:

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.
