| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to develop the method of postmortem interval estimation by the temperature distribution after death. As the novel methods of postmortem temperature distribution measurement, we achieved to develop multi-point temperature probe for measurement the temperature distribution in the postmortem cranial body. In addition, we were able to visualize the postmortem cooling of temperature distribution with magnetic resonance thermometry. Therefore, we developed the mathematical model of postmortem intracranial cooling.
