RNS alapú módszerek alkalmazása az igazságügyi orvostanban

Abstract

The post-mortem interval is the time period between someone’s death and the finding of the cadaver. Estimation of PMI is one of the most researched field in forensic medicine. All the estimations based on the classic signs of death (livores mortuales, rigor mortis, algor mortis) suffer from a high degree of uncertainty, also can be influenced by several internal and external factors. Forensic entomology might provide an estimation based on the colonisation of the cadaver by insects in the case of elongated PMI. Specialised expertise is necessary for this kind of examination. Also several factors can influence the precision of the estimation.
