International Journal of Legal Medicine. 2025. doi: 10.1007/s00414-025-03556-5. This systematic review explores the current landscape of postmortem CT angiography (PMCTA) in young decedents, highlighting significant variability in technique and the absence of standardized protocols. A conceptual decision tree is proposed to guide practitioners in tailoring PMCTA based on age and anatomical considerations, with implications for improving forensic and clinical investigations. NB.
