Summary
Virtopsy, a non-invasive approach, offers objective and accurate forensic evidence, complementing traditional autopsies. This method enhances investigations into trauma, asphyxia, drowning, and temperature-related deaths.
Area of Science:
- Forensic Medicine
- Medical Imaging
- Pathology
Background:
- Traditional autopsy is invasive and sometimes socially unacceptable.
- Virtopsy provides a non-invasive alternative for post-mortem examination.
- There is a growing need for objective and visual evidence in forensic pathology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the applications of virtopsy in forensic medicine.
- To synthesize current literature on virtopsy's effectiveness.
- To highlight virtopsy as a new direction in forensic research.
Main Methods:
- Literature synthesis of domestic and international studies.
- Review of virtopsy applications in various forensic cases.
- Exploration of finite element method in trauma investigation.
