163 CT and MR features of postmortem change in deaths 8 Legend: (A/C/E) Antemortem CT (A) and T2w (C) and T1w (E) PMMR in the same patient. Antemortem CT (A) shows no abnormalities in the pulmonary arteries. PMMR (C/E) shows an irregularly shaped clot in the right pulmonary artery (C: arrowhead), with low T1 signal (E: arrowhead). (B/D/F) AntemortemCTA (B) and T2w (D) and T1w (F) PMMR in a patient with a thrombo-embolus. Antemortem CTA (B) shows a thrombo-embolus in the right and left pulmonary artery (arrowheads). PMMR (D/F) shows a thrombo-embolus in the right pulmonary artery (arrowheads). (G) HE, x16 original magnification, corresponding to image A/C/E. Wall of right pulmonary artery with a postmortem blood clot (asterisk). (I) HE, x50 original magnification, corresponding to image A/C/E. Higher power of blood clot showing blood with loosely arranged depositions of fibrin. (H) HE, x16 original magnification, corresponding to image B/D/F. Wall of pulmonary artery and thrombus. (J) HE, x50 original magnification, corresponding to image B/D/F. Wall of pulmonary artery and thrombus with dense depositions of fibrin and platelets, alternating with degenerated erythrocytes and white blood cells, thus constituting so-called lines of Zahn.
