About
Patrick Laberke is a forensic pathologist whose research focuses on postmortem imaging and toxicological redistribution, particularly the use of CT-guided biopsy sampling to investigate time-dependent drug and poison movement in the body after death. His most-cited work, a 2015 proof-of-concept study, demonstrated a novel method for collecting blood and alternative matrix samples from specific anatomical sites, enabling more accurate interpretation of postmortem toxicology results. This contribution has helped refine forensic investigations by addressing the confounding effects of postmortem redistribution—a critical challenge in determining cause and timing of death. With 27 citations, this paper has influenced subsequent studies in forensic imaging and toxicology, underscoring its practical value in autopsy practice. Laberke’s work bridges radiology and forensic medicine, offering a minimally invasive approach that enhances evidence reliability. His research is particularly relevant for students and professionals seeking to improve postmortem analysis through innovative imaging-guided techniques.
