Physical Autopsies Still "Gold Standard" for Determining Cause of Death
( Source: COMPAMED.de )
[25/01/2012] TV crime shows like Bones and CSI are quick to explain each death by showing highly detailed scans and video images of victims’ insides. Traditional autopsies, if shown at all, are at best in supporting roles to the high-tech equipment, and usually gloss over the sometimes physically gruelling tasks of sawing through skin and bone.
