CONTENTS
1. High Velocity Projectile Trauma --
2. Blunt Force Trauma (BFT) --
3. Blunt Force Trauma – Fatal Falls (FT) (Samantha Rowbotham) --
4. High Energy Blunt Force Trauma: Motor Vehicle (MV) Incidents --
5. High Energy Blunt Force Trauma: Aviation (AV) Incidents --
6. Accidental and Non-accidental Injuries in Children (CI) --
7. Sharp Force Trauma (SFT) --

9. Taphonomic Changes (TC) --
10. Skeletal Variation (SV): Morphology, Anomalies, Tissue Calcification and Pathology.
Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is increasingly used in forensic pathology practice in many jurisdictions. Such imaging has expanded the capacity to evaluate skeletal trauma improving the visualisation, documentation and presentation of forensic findings. Typically when deceased persons are located and exhibit evidence of trauma, forensic pathologist, anthropologists and radiologists base their interpretations of the mechanism of trauma on their experience and understanding of the biomechanics of fractures as well as recognisable patterns of injury. In order to augment this process, An Atlas of Forensic Skeletal Trauma presents a range of de-identified adult and child skeletal trauma cases that occur in medico-legal contexts where the cause of death and mechanism of trauma are recorded. An Atlas of Forensic Skeletal Trauma includes comprehensive photographs and PMCT images as well as descriptive text.
