The rise of Forensic Imaging began around the year 2000 with the increasing use of CT and MRI in post-mortem and later also in living forensic cases and growing research activities in this newly developing field. Now, more than 20 years later, it seems time to present an overview of the many possibilities, benefits and current applications of imaging in a forensic context. The book shall introduce into forensic imaging casework and provide illustrated exam­ples regarding typical forensic issues such as post-mortem alterations, charac­teristic signs of violence including the highly complex and important topic of child maltreatment, findings following accidents such as drowning or falls from height, specific needs and pitfalls of forensic image reading and more. The currently applied and presented imaging methods range from classical X-rays to CT, MRI, post-mortem angiography, post-processing methods up to 3D surface scanning and 3D printing, most of them fast developing and offer­ing technologies that perfectly support modern forensic case assessment.

Our work does not claim to be an exhaustive textbook that fully covers all details of Forensic Imaging. We however hope it helps gaining interest in this—from a clinical view—still “exotic” field. If it succeeds in bringing both radiologists and forensic experts closer together and motivates to learn more, and maybe even become an active part of the forensic imaging community, it has fully served its objective.

Last but not least we want to cordially thank all the authors for their out­standing contributions and the publisher Springer for excellent work and sup­port throughout the whole creation process of the book.
