So far, there are few DWI investigations of corpses. The
most recent study using DWI (including ADC-Mapping) in
post mortem brain seemed to be useful and especially
promising in forensic medicine. The purpose of this
study was to assess both the changes in water diffusion
quantified by diffusion-weighted MR imaging in post
mortem liver tissue and to examine the development of
the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in the liver
after death in comparison to ADC values in vivo tissue.
