| Abstract: | Post-Mortem CT (PMCT), Post-Mortem MRI (PMMRI), and Virtopsy are increasingly used in European forensic practice. Significant variations exist across Europe in service availability, imaging protocols, legal frameworks, training, and collaboration. No comprehensive map currently exists to guide harmonisation. This scoping review protocol (following Arksey & O’Malley enhanced by Levac et al., reported per PRISMA-ScR) will map modalities, protocols, and guidelines across Europe (2010–present, English-language peer-reviewed studies, surveys, guidelines, and position statements). It will identify commonalities and disparities in practice and service organisation, document barriers/facilitators to harmonisation, and generate evidence to support European forensic imaging protocols. |
