The Atlas of Forensic Pathology : A Pattern-Based Approach , written by Drs. Walter L. Kemp

(Montana State Medical Examiner) , Rhome L. Hughes, and Jeffrey J. Barnard (Dallas County Chief Medical Examiner) , closely resembles the daily sign-out procedure . It is a concise and highly illustrated instructional guide that explains how to interpret patterns of findings at forensic autopsy in order to accurately determine the cause and manner of death .

The book’s format will also instruct a pathologist on how to find relevant data (i.e., how to look for trends) and compile an extensive yet concise autopsy report . The authors’ vast collection of photographs includes about 1,400 excellent images that highlight the variety of forensic autopsy results and how they are interpreted. Diagnostic advice is included in the image captions , along with callouts for potential diagnostic hints . This reference , which is mostly arranged according to the cause or circumstances of death , also has useful chapters on death certification, special dissections , death inquiry and other forensic pathology-related issues.

Among the useful resources used in the work are :

Checklists for important autopsy components under different conditions Parts under “Pearls and Pitfalls” and “Near Misses” that offer insights from actual sign-out experiences “Frequently Asked Questions” sections that address typical problems in determining the cause and manner of death . “Sample Note” sections with suggested phrasing for the cause of death and samples on how to format an autopsy report . A thorough test gives familiarity with high-yield, board-style subject matter .
