Hypostasis: (a) axial post-mortem T₁ weighted sequence through the thorax of an adult male subject demonstrates post-mortem lung lividity in the dependent parts of the lung parenchyma with a gradient of mild signal change present in the posterior dependent parts of the lungs (arrows). (b) Axial post-mortem CT image on lung window settings through the thorax of an adult male subject with a mild gradient of increasing attenuation change from the non-dependent anterior aspects of the lungs (thin arrows) through to the dependent posterior aspects of the lungs (thick arrows).
