The method of post-mortem multidetector CT (MDCT) scan is already applied routinely in many institutes of forensic medicine . Different other techniques of post-mortem CT-angiography have been discovered for a better visualization of the vascular system, which can fundamentally be segregated into partial- and whole-body angiography techniques.

The most frequently applied technique, multiphase post-mortem CT-angiography (MPMCTA), is a standardized method for examining the vessels of the abdomen, thorax, and head. Various studies have described its application for medicolegal investigations.
