Résumé
The post mortem assessment of brain edema is routinely performed during autopsy by forensic pathologists who evaluate the macroscopically visible signs. In this study, the suitability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for a differentiation between edematous and nonedematous brains was examined as an objective, noninvasive and quantitative rating method. In this study, 22 deceased underwent post mortem in situ MRI prior to regular autopsy. Acquired MRI sequences allowed the computation of the quantitative MRI parameters T
