Abstract

In recent years, Photon-counting detector CT (PCD CT) has emerged as a new and groundbreaking technology in clinical radiology. While clinical research and practical applications of PCD-CT are constantly evolving, it has not yet been integrated into post-mortem CT (PMCT) imaging. Documented research into the potential applications of PCD CT in the field of post-mortem human forensic pathology and anatomical pathology is scarce in literature. This is despite the fact that PCD CT shows promise in expanding PMCT imaging diagnostic due to features such as ultra-high resolution and intrinsic spectral multienergy imaging. The authors have recently started scanning forensic corpses with a PCD CT to explore its possibilities and limits in the post-mortem field. In this technical note, the PCD CT acquisition and reconstruction parameters that resulted in excellent image quality in terms of noise and contrast for a slice thickness up to 0.2 mm in unenhanced whole-body examinations are presented.
