Enhancing Forensic Diagnostics: Structured Reporting of Post-Mortem CT versus Autopsy for Laryngohyoid Complex Fractures in Strangulation
Autopsy and pmCT findings correlate well and can be used in a complementary manner. PmCT is superior to autopsy in identifying dislocations and detecting anatomical variations in the laryngohyoid complex, which can lead to misinterpretations during autopsy. Therefore, we do not advocate replacing autopsy with pmCT but propose using a structured workflow, including our standardized reporting template, for evaluating lesions in the laryngohyoid complex.
