Can a CT scan be used on a dead body?

Hiii I’m writing an essay on different scans that can be used on dead bodies as an alternative for dissections during an autopsy. I was just wondering if it was possible give a corpse a CT scan, and if so, how would they be able to see soft tissue since a CT contrast agent would be required for that and I’m not sure how they’d get one into the body since there’s no blood flow ?? Many thanks :)

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
