Autopsy Pathology, 4th Edition

In today’s global health services, the medical autopsy retains importance for determining cause of death, research, education, quality assurance in medical care, and families’ grieving processes. Autopsy Pathology: A Manual and Atlas, 4th Edition, provides practical, step-by-step guidance on how to perform autopsies, including specialized procedures often not taught during a typical residency. 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, which captures the appearance of the complete spectrum of autopsy findings, including a chapter on forensic autopsy.
