摘要: Abstract Up until the beginning of 21st century, technique choice for forensic medical examination a deceased individual was traditional autopsy. This, however, has begun to change with introduction post-mortem imaging. Post-mortem imaging, or ‘virtual autopsy’, is novel area radiology that utilises non-invasive imaging techniques body. Many used conduct virtual autopsy are more commonly employed within clinical diagnostic, such as computed tomography magnetic resonance In recent years, gathered significant momentum robust and objective methodology capable compiling relevant intelligence without disturbing This review identifies describes currently available provides an insight on their advantages disadvantages compared methods. The aim this paper highlight most milestones accomplished in field potential application current frameworks.
