Virtopsy, a new imaging horizon in forensic pathology: virtual autopsy by postmortem multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)--a feasibility study
Michael J. Thali,Kathrin Yen,Wolf Schweitzer,Peter Vock,Chris Boesch,Christoph Ozdoba,Gerhard Schroth,Michael Ith,Martin Sonnenschein,Tanja Doernhoefer,Eva Scheurer,Thomas Plattner,Richard Dirnhofer +12 more
TL;DR: Using postmortem multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 40 forensic cases were examined and findings were verified by subsequent autopsy Results were classified as follows: (I) cause of death, relevant traumatological and pathological findings, (III) vital reactions, (IV) reconstruction of injuries, (V) visualization.

Virtopsy, a New Imaging Horizon in Forensic Pathology: Virtual Autopsy by Postmortem Multislice Computed Tomography (MSCT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) – A Feasibility Study
Michael J. Thali,Kathrin Yen,W Shweitzer,Peter Vock,C Boessh,Christoph Ozdoba,Gerhard Schroth,Michael Ith,Martin Sonnenschein,T Doernhoefer,Eva Scheurer,T Plattener,Richard Dirnhofer +12 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results, based on the concept of "virtopsy," are promising enough to introduce and evaluate these radiological techniques in forensic medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
VIRTOPSY: Minimally Invasive, Imaging-guided Virtual Autopsy
TL;DR: The documentation and analysis of postmortem findings with CT and MR imaging and postprocessing techniques ("virtopsy") is investigator independent, objective, and noninvasive and will lead to qualitative improvements in forensic pathologic investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Typing of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from compact bone from human remains.
Manfred N. Hochmeister,B. Budowle,Urs V. Borer,Urs Eggmann,Catherine T. Comey,Richard Dirnhofer +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that amplification and typing of DNA extracted from compact bone of human remains could be useful in establishing the identity of a person, as well as in excluding possible false identifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
VIRTOPSY—Scientific Documentation, Reconstruction and Animation in Forensic: Individual and Real 3D Data Based Geo-Metric Approach Including Optical Body/Object Surface and Radiological CT/MRI Scanning
Michael J. Thali,Marcel Braun,Ursula Buck,Emin Aghayev,Christian Jackowski,Peter Vock,Martin Sonnenschein,Richard Dirnhofer +7 more
TL;DR: Approaches to a 3D geo-metric documentation of injuries on the body surface and internal injuries in the living and deceased cases are presented and real 3D data based documentation opens a new horizon for scientific reconstruction and animation.
