Abstract
The last few decades have seen the emergence of forensic imaging, both clinical and post-mortem. Year after year, the scientific community has refined the radiological tools that can be used for post-mortem and clinical forensic purposes. As a result, scientific societies have published recommendations that are essential for the daily work of forensic imaging. This third part of the review of the current state of forensic imaging describes these recommended radiological tools and also presents an overview of the various international guidelines dealing with post mortem imaging that can be found in the literature or that have been written by scientific societies.Keywords
