Joint European Society of Paediatric Radiology (ESPR) and International Society for Forensic Radiology and Imaging (ISFRI) guidelines: paediatric postmortem computed tomography imaging protocol

Postmortem CT for investigating childhood deaths is increasingly utilised as a noninvasive adjunct or alternative to standard autopsy; however there are no standardised published imaging protocols. This article describes a standardised imaging protocol that has been developed based on current practices of international postmortem imaging practitioners and experts. This recommendation is expected to be useful for postmortem imaging centres wishing to update their existing practices and for those starting paediatric postmortem CT as a new service

Data for: Lung weight estimation with postmortem CT in forensic cases

The relation between lung weight in autopsies and lung weight estimated using postmortem CT showed high Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9106).Estimated lung weight (g) = 70.910633057 + 0.0586911941 * v2 + 0.4374633191 * v3 + 0.9309684158 * v4 + 1.0354060707 * v5 + 1.0123152027 * v6.The lung volume was divided into 6 categories according to CT number ranges: v1; <-1000 HU volume (ml), v2; -1000 to -700 HU volume (ml), v3; -600 to -200 HU volume (ml), v4; -199 to 0 HU volume (ml), v5; 1 to 80 HU volume (ml), v6; 81 to 500 HU volume (ml
