Brain fragility can be estimated by its putrefactive signs on postmortem computed tomography

Brain fragility can be estimated by its putrefactive signs on postmortem computed tomography

Highlights • We examined the association between PMCT findings and the brain rigidity in 149 cases. • PMCT can estimate brain fragility prior to autopsy. • PMCT can be an indicator of decreased brain rigidity, enhancing the autopsy quality.
