Contribution Of Postmortem Computed Tomography in evaluation of fatal work accidents: A Case Study During The Covid-19 Pandemic State.

Among fatal accidents, those related to falls from great heights and crushing are described as the most common, while among the least common are deaths due to electrocution. With reference to the location of injuries, those involving the head are considered the most fatal, while rib fractures are considered as the most common. In this context, postmortem computed tomography can be very helpful, not only for the two- and three-dimensional reconstruction of fractures, but also for understanding the dynamics with which fatal accidents develop in the workplace. This can both ensure a better assessment of the responsibilities of workers and/or the employer, and lead to the evaluation of the suitability of protective devices, also allowing to make them safer.
