What i've been upto ......

For those who don't know much about forensic pathology, the Victorian Institute of Forensic medicine is a well equiped operation that is rather unique in that it is one of only a handful of places that routinely uses CT (computed tomography) to assist with a cause and mode of death.

I have been rather lucky in that i was able to undertake a project using the CT scanner to provide me with a project as well as being involved in the routine day-to-day stuff. Bascially the project was to determine the usefulness of CT in demonstrating fatal skull fractures. This resulted me producing a review of a number of cases and addressing a number of issues (one of which included replacing the use of gruesome post mortem photography with CT generated 3D models for court).

Some of the images i have produced can be viewed by clicking the following link (**warning - the images are graphic - not gory tho!**) Click

As an issue of confidentiality i have purposefully not given any commentry around the cases
