N2 - Purpose: To demonstrate how the crime scene photos helped in the evaluation of post mortem MSCT (Multi Slice Computer Tomography) of ”terminal ballistics” in a multiple gunshot homicide by the use of the OsiriX® DICOM Viewer and the ”Bullit” plugin. As a secondary purpose example of the possible usage of the MSCT generated pictures/ models in forensic reports also using OsiriX® will be shown. Material and method: The work flow in a ballistic case from the Section of Forensic Pathology in Copenhagen, Denmark is used. Crime scene photos where used in the primary evaluation of the post mortem MSCT scan prior to the autopsy by the use of OsiriX® and the ”Bullit” plugin. Results: There was found to be very good correlation between the MSCT described wound channels and the autopsy findings both for perforating and penetrating lesions. It is the authors opinion that this is also very time sparing in the autopsy situation. Discussion and conclusion: Mulitiple gunshot homicides is often a challenging task for forensic patholgists both at the crime scene and in the autopsy room. By the use of post mortem MSCT and subsequent use of OsiriX®, ”Bullit” and the crime scene photos in the evaluation it is possible to save time in the autopsy and have these informations available earlier than otherwize possible. It is also possible to integrate the images as documentation in the forensic reports fast and easy as a supplement or replacement of the diagrams usually used in ballistic cases.
