The printing and illustration quality is outstanding.<br> Joel Lichtenstein, M.D., University of Washington <p>As the number of traditional autopsies continues to decline and as imaging technology becomes ever more sophisticated, radiological procedures, particularly multi-detector computed tomography, are being adapted for death investigation. These methods have demonstrated importance for detection and documentation of anatomic and pathologic alterations in the setting of un-natural death. The book is unusually well illustrated through correlation of photographs and radiological images of the highest quality. The book is certain to find extended use in training programs and daily death investigation and documentation.<br> William A. Murphy, Jr., M.D., Professor of Radiology and John S.
