Forensic Pathology & Neuropathology
Forensic pathology is a subspecialty within the field of pathology that focuses upon the application of principles of pathology within a medical-legal setting. While the postmortem examination is one of the primary tools utilized by a forensic pathologist and contrary to the popular belief that “all questions are answered by an autopsy,” a forensic pathologist often needs to evaluate far more. In order to arrive at a well-reasoned opinion, a review of the scene and circumstances surrounding the death, medical records, investigative reports and reports of other analysts and experts are often necessary for this synthesis.
Further, a forensic pathologist often performs microscopic examinations of tissue retained at the time of the autopsy and may well call upon the expertise of other specially trained pathologists for more detailed examination of certain organs.
