The quantification of edema is helpful to make a sound diagnosis in presence of Received in revised form 5 May 2015 multiple affections and multiple possible causes of death. The water content in certain brain regions is Accepted 1 June 2015 furthermore a promising marker to distinguish between causes of death with no visible evidence, such as Available online 9 June 2015 suffocation, shaking impact syndrome and sudden infant death syndrome. However, in todays’ forensic medicine, no technique is available for the objective and exact quantification of edema. Therefore, the aim Keywords: of
