This useful book provides an update on the advances and developments in autopsy practice. The concise, well-referenced text consists of chapters that can be read independently of each other, in addition to forming a cohesive book, which can act as a laboratory manual or reference guide. It starts with a general subject related to death or death investigation and then proceeds through a series of related chapters which become more specialized, ending in a highly specialized chapter related to a specific type of injury. From the reviews: "The Essentials of Autopsy Practice series is rapidly becoming to autopsies what the Recent Advances is to histopathology… Overall, this is an excellent book, and a worthy successor to the first volume in the series. It will prove a valuable addition to the bookshelves of all pathologists engaged in autopsy practice." (Julian Burton, ACP News, Spring 2004)
This book covers new and exciting topics that have emerged in autopsy practice, including the three different post-mortem CT-angiography systems currently available to practitioners in this field.
