Abstract
„Virtopsy“ nutzt moderne Imaging-Technologie, um die klassische Dokumentation der Autopsie zu optimieren. Vorteile der Virtopsy sind die untersucherunabhängige, objektive 3D-Dokumentation von Körperbefunden und der nichtinvasive Ansatz. Virtopsy ist eine Option bei Autopsieablehnung durch die Familie oder aus religiösen Gründen. Virtopsy eignet sich bei Massenkatastrophen für eine schnelle Identifizierung von Opfern. Für Staatsanwälte und Gerichte können medizinische Befunde dreidimensional ohne blutige Bilder gezeigt werden. The aim of “virtopsy” is to utilize modern imaging technology to optimize classical autopsy documentation. The benefits of virtopsy include examiner-independent, objective 3D documentation and its non-invasive approach. Virtopsy is an option in cases where autopsy is rejected by family members or for religious reasons. It is also suitable as a rapid identification and examination tool in large-scale disasters. Forensic findings can be presented to prosecutors and courts in 3D and without bloody images.Keywords
