Abstract
- Blood can sediment in cavities following death.
- Subjective assessment of this sedimentation is not reliable.
- ROI calculations on PMCT can demonstrate this sedimentation.
- ROI calculation of post-mortem blood in the right atrium is reliable.
- Size and location of the ROIs in cavity blood assessment requires strict guidelines.
