Charred, badly decomposed, or mummified corpses, as well as those
restrictions forced upon coroners by certain religious sects, often
make autopsies impossible to perform. In addition, lack of manpower
among the personnel charged with performing autopsies frequently
creates a backlog of cases in the coroner's office. This delay
increases the likelihood that causes of death will go undetermined
and criminal perpetrators will go unpunished. The solution can be
found in what has come to be known as the virtopsy (R), a minimally
invasive and efficient way to perform an autopsy through
state-of-the-art imaging-guided means. A term coined by noted
forensic pathologist Richard Dirnhofer, virtopsy refers to "virtual
autopsy," a modality that employs a spectrum of technologies
including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and
spectroscopy, and 3D photogrammetry and surface scanning. In The
Virtopsy Approach: 3D Optical and Radiological Scanning and
Reconstruction in Forensic Medicine, the authors reveal a
comprehensive summary of the virtopsy procedure. Well-organized,
detailed enough to serve as a how-to guide for newcomers to the
field, and copiously illustrated with many color figures
accompanied by appropriate explanatory captions, this volume breaks
new ground in the world of autopsy science.
