==Basic autopsy cutting==
In non-forensic '''[[Autopsy]]''':
:The lungs may be cut after removing the heart through cutting through the major vessels close to it, or by removing each lung by cuts by each lung hilum.
*Dissect the '''pulmonary arterial system''', from the pulmonary trunk and including at least segmental arteries.
*Dissect the '''bronchial tree''', at least to segmental bronchi. Check for obstructions.
*Make some additional sections through the '''lung parenchyma'''. Squeeze at each side to detect any pus and edema.<ref>{{cite book |author=Burton, Julian L.; Rutty, Guy N. |title=The Hospital Autopsy A Manual of Fundamental Autopsy Practice |publisher=Oxford University Press |location= |year=2010 |pages= {{{1|}}} |edition=3rd |isbn=978-0340965146 |oclc= |doi= |accessdate=}}</ref>
