TL;DR: The causes of death including some cases of cervical cord injuries, asphyxiation, burn, drug intoxication, acute myocardial infarction, and pulmonary thromboembolism cannot be diagnosed using PMCT.

TL;DR: Despite the prediction interval achieved with this method not being superior to traditional macroscopic or flat-panel CT assessment, multidetector CT is a potentially useful tool, in conjunction with other methods, for age estimation, particularly in adult females and in cases where only a skull is the sole remain.

TL;DR: Rec reconstructed images of multidetector‐row computed tomography (MDCT) acquired before forensic autopsy are useful for estimating age at death, and estimated age correlated significantly with the pulp cavity to tooth volume ratio.

TL;DR: It is concluded that sacral/sacrococcygeal length measured with MDCT is a potentially useful tool for stature estimation, particularly in cases where better predictors such as the long bones are not available.

TL;DR: All four parameters correlated significantly with stature independent of sex, suggesting that they can be used as a tool for stature estimation.
