Virtopsy ~ A New Innovation for Forensic Sciences
Virtopsy is a database that allows you to virtually perform an autopsy (investigation of the body under inspection for cause of death). A Swedish forensic pathologist described the innovative combining of the power of the virtual world, and the usefulness to forensic science into a technique to help investigators determine the circumstances surrounding an individual’s death. Virtopsy uses the latest medical imaging technology to provide a complete three-dimensional view of the inside and outside of the body. It provides for more effective and detailed forensic examinations. It is a promising tool that complements the information and discoveries of investigators, doctors, and forensic pathologists when used in combination with traditional autopsies.
Virtopsy helps determine the cause of death, mechanism of death, and manner of death. The cause of death is the reason or event that begins the process resulting in death. The mechanism of death is the functional-physiologic or structural change that makes life no longer possible after a lethal event has occurred. The manner of death is the manner or circumstance that results in death.
Virtopsy can perform the following;
