  • Ultrasonography is known to have many applications in the diagnoses of diseases, as well as in guiding medical practitioners through precise medical procedures. However, its use as a post-mortem radiographic modality has been limited. Post-mortem ultrasonographic techniques are considered to be a safer alternative to high-risk post-mortem procedures, especially in infectious diseases. The present communication discusses the possibilities of using ultrasonography in post-mortem examinations in times of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to minimize the associated risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection of those working in mortuaries during full-body dissection in traditional autopsies. Post-mortem ultrasonography can be useful in reducing the extent of autopsies, thus decreasing the risk of exposure of forensic personnel.
