Message from the Head of the Department
Since we have been in charge of medicolegal autopsies in Tochigi and Ibaraki prefectures, we have conducted a wide range of basic and clinical research, including medical research and case studies on trauma, sudden death, and toxicokinetics, as well as technical research on auxiliary diagnostic technics that contribute to the determination of the cause of death. In addition, from the standpoint of social medicine, we promote preventive medicine for accidents and crimes by utilizing the knowledge and experience we have gained through medicolegal autopsies, and we also provide consultation services for forensic issues from physicians in various medical departments.
