This how-to guide presents today's most complete coverage of performing, interpreting, and reporting post-mortem examinations.

The material is divided into two sections for ease of use: a manual covering specific autopsy procedures, biosafety, generation of autopsy reports, preparation of death certificates, and other essential subjects; and an atlas, organized by organ system, that captures the appearance of the complete spectrum of autopsy findings. |
