Ultrasound imaging identifies the antemortem and postmortem features and PMI in euthanized dogs with implication of cause death may mask the imaging
The findings support the integration of ultrasonography into standard forensic protocols for veterinary cases. The ability to differentiate antemortem from postmortem changes and estimate PMI noninvasively makes it a valuable tool for veterinary pathologists, legal authorities, and animal welfare investigators. Rapid, repeatable, and ultrasound imaging has significant promise in advancing the field of veterinary forensic science.
