Other virtopsy findings in the severely injured Sousa chinensis (WL212). a Axial postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) at mid-thorax level showing diffused ground-glass opacification across the right lung and a focal area with more severe consolidation in the ventral left lung. There was also mild pleural effusion accumulated at the costophrenic angle shown by the obscured edge of the ventral right lung (arrowheads). b Coronal PMCT of the cranial-to-mid abdomen showing hyperattenuated material (~ 1300–2300 HU) in the stomach which was found to be residual fishbones (asterisk), and less hyperattenuated content (~ 180–300 HU) throughout the intestines that was compacted alongside with abnormal apperance of the intestinal lining (arrowheads)
