Modern cross sectional imaging techniques can supplement and may even partially replace traditional autopsy. The century old techniques are still being used, Virtopsy is one step ahead. The aim of the Virtopsy is to validate new approach by systematically comparing the radiologic and surface scanning findings with those obtained at traditional autopsy. Virtopsy consists of body volume documentation and analysis using CT, MR imaging, and micro-radiology; and 3D body surface documentation using forensic photogrammetric and 3D optical scanning. The new method should be able to help determine whether death was the result of natural causes, accident, suicide, or homicide. This paper is aimed to discuss a few points that to what extend Virtopsy is beneficial in the field of Forensic Science.
