Description
This CD-ROM atlas illustrates and gives good visual coverage of the various frequently encountered aspects of natural and violent deaths,
to remind of the limitations and pitfalls in interpretation of the findings, as well as to demonstrate other more rarely seen cases and
injuries of forensic importance in the living. It is a database containing more than 1600 images of forensic pathological cases with
descriptions. These include deaths by violence, suicide, natural deaths and accidents, as well as examinations of living persons. Each
image in the database has a number of attributes that together classify the content of the image. Typical attributes are Chapter (categorising
the images into chapters and sub-chapters), Body region, Cause of death, Mode of death, Object (weapons, clothing etc.).
