FORENSICS: How CTE leads to crime

CTE is suprisingly common - but, it can only be diagnosed post-mortem, & by a forensic expert. So, how is does an examination work? And why is it so hard to have one done?

Dr Linda Iles is a forensic neuropathologist, and someone who performs post-mortem brain examinations on people every single day. What she discovers in these exams is extraordinary, and telling to the life that person lead.

More recently, CTE has been something she's on the look out for. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a progressive degenerative brain disease typically found in individuals with a history of repetitive brain trauma, such as athletes involved in contact sports like AFL, NRL, soccer and martial arts.

Understand how someone is diagnosed post-mortem, and the intricate details of brain examinations with host Kathryn Fox; as she chats with Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine's Dr Linda Iles.
