    Summary: This book is an ideal introduction to the specialty of post mortem computed tomography (PMCT). It will serve as a comprehensive yet accessible guide to the understanding and interpretation of whole-body studies for both hospital and community settings. Both normal post mortem appearances and findings associated with a wide range of diagnoses encountered in real cases from the coronial service are presented with the aid of numerous images. The coverage encompasses not only findings in all anatomic regions but also the imaging appearances in cases following targeted coronary angiography, attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation and various special circumstances such as suicide. The inclusion of many practical tips and possible pitfalls will support the radiologist to become more confident when reporting PMCT, while for the more experienced practitioner the wealth of examples will serve as a useful resource. In addition to radiologists, the book will be of value for pathologists at all levels of experience and anyone needing to understand the role and limitations of PMCT.

    We have examined the uptake of 3H-triamcinolone acetonide (3H-TAC) into various maternal and embryonic tissues of A/J mice. We report that the fetal tissues were able to retain TAC for long periods, although the concentrations of TAC in the maternal tissues were significantly lower. We have also examined the binding of 3H-TAC both to nuclei and cytosols from maxillary processes. We report that 3H-TAC can bind to chromatin both at low and high affinity. This leads to the isolation of two chromosmal protein fractions containing bound 3H-TAC. Therefore, triamcinolone acetonide is favorably retained in fetal tissues by its ability to bind tightly to chromatin.
