Autopsy Pathology: A Manual and Atlas, 4th Edition, provides practical, step-by-step guidance on how to perform autopsies, including specialized procedures often not taught during a typical residency. Material is divided into two sections for ease of use: a manual covering specific autopsy procedures, biosafety, generation of autopsy reports, preparation of death certificates, and other essential subjects; and an atlas, organized by organ system, which captures the appearance of the complete spectrum of autopsy findings, including a chapter on forensic autopsy.
