| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to investigation the feasibility of MR histology, which deals with formalin-fixed samples, to forensic practice. The tissues taken in forensic autopsy were used for experiments. In addition to the measurement of relaxation times of the fixed samples, we performed the MR histology scanning with a clinical MR equipment and comparison MR histology images and pathological specimens of the hippocampal region. Though we found that the relaxation time of the fixed organ is able to be affected to the formalin fixation process, it is considered that the measurement result must be regarded as a preliminary data for the future of research. It is found that MR histology image acquired with clinical MR apparatus can be valuable for forensic practice and research. Although the scanning technique and diagnostic application of MR histology image will continue to be considered, MR histology would be expected to be applied of the forensic practice
