A novel approach to determine post mortem interval using neutron radiography

Highlights • Post-mortem interval (PMI) was determined using neutron radiography of canine tissues. • Tissues and cadavers were decayed under controlled (lab-setting) and uncontrolled (environmental) conditions. • PMI was calculated from the neutron transmission of tissues as a function of time. • N...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Post-mortem interval (PMI) was determined using neutron radiography of canine tissues. • Tissues and cadavers were decayed under controlled (lab-setting) and uncontrolled (environmental) conditions. • PMI was calculated from the neutron transmission of tissues as a function of time. • Natural logarithmic fit was used to estimate PMI.
