Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is increasingly used in forensic pathology practice in many jurisdictions. Such imaging has expanded the capacity to evaluate skeletal trauma improving the visualisation, documentation and presentation of forensic findings. Typically when deceased persons are located and exhibit evidence of trauma, forensic pathologist, anthropologists and radiologists base their interpretations of the mechanism of trauma on their experience and understanding of the biomechanics of fractures as well as recognisable patterns of injury. In order to augment this process, An Atlas of Forensic Skeletal Trauma presents a range of de-identified adult and child skeletal trauma cases that occur in medico-legal contexts where the cause of death and mechanism of trauma are recorded. An Atlas of Forensic Skeletal Trauma includes comprehensive photographs and PMCT images as well as descriptive text.

Chris O’Donnell is a clinical Radiologist who was instrumental in the installation of a CT scanner into the mortuary of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine. His expertise is in integration of imaging into forensic practice including identification of deceased persons culminated in an important role in the Black Saturday bushfires.

Based on that experience his input has been pivotal in the formation of standards for the use of radiology in mass disaster.
