Abstract

Postmortem CT is widely used in the general adult and military populations. It is used extensively in pediatric death investigations in Europe and Asia, but distinctive challenges are encountered when launching a postmortem imaging program in the United States. We describe the issues we have encountered specific to establishing a pediatric postmortem imaging service in this country and propose potential solutions.
