description Introducción: Ante la naturaleza heterogénea, complejidad inherente de la actividad de peritaje en medicina legal, el perito (profesional de la medicina o áreas afines) debe hacer el mejor uso de las herramientas técnicas y tecnológicas de las cuales disponga. La imagenología, referente al conjunto de las técnicas que permiten obtener imágenes del cuerpo humano con fines clínicos o científicos, en cualquiera de sus técnicas, reviste una potente herramienta de apoyo estableciendo hechos o pruebas técnicas en el campo legal. Objetivo: Analizar el uso de la resonancia magnética y la tomografía computarizada en el diagnóstico postmortem. Metodología: Se realizó búsqueda de información en las bases de datos PubMed, Science Direct, Springer Journal y en el motor de búsqueda Google Académico, usando los términos “Tomografía Computarizada por Rayos X”, “Espectroscopía de Resonancia Magnética”, “Autopsia” y “Medicina Legal” publicados en el periodo 2008-2015. Resultados: La resonancia magnética es útil para el estudio detallado de tejidos blandos y órganos, mientras que la tomografía computarizada permite la identificación de fracturas, calcificaciones, implantes y traumas. Conclusiones: En los reportes hallados en la búsqueda bibliográfica, en cuanto al uso de la resonancia magnética nuclear y la tomografía computarizada en casos postmortem, nombrados por la génesis del trauma, se halló correlación entre la utilización de la imagen y el correcto diagnóstico pericial en la autopsia.

MedUNAB 2017; 20(2): 190-200].Introduction: Given the heterogeneous nature, the inherent complexity to the activity of expertise in legal medicine, the expert (a professional in medicine or related areas) should make the best use of the technical and technological tools available for this. The imaging, which refers to the set of techniques that allow getting images of the human body for clinical or scientific purposes in any of its techniques, has a powerful support tool to establish facts or technical evidence in the legal field. Objective: To analyze the use of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scan in postmortem diagnosis. Methodology: The search for information was carried out in the PubMed, Science Direct, Springer Journal databases and the Google Scholar search engine, by using the terms "X-ray Computed Tomography", "Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy", "Autopsy", and "Legal Medicine" including articles published from 2008 to 2015. Results: A magnetic resonance imaging is useful for a detailed study of soft tissues and organs, while a computed tomography scan allows identifying fractures, calcifications, implants, and traumas. Conclusions: In the reports found in the literature search, regarding the use of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scan in postmortem cases which were named after the genesis of the trauma, a correlation was found between the use of the image and the correct expert diagnosis at autopsy.
