For the past 10 years, medical imaging techniques have been increasingly applied to forensic investigations. To obtain histological and toxicological information, tissue and liquid samples are required. In this article, we describe the development of a low-cost, secure, and reliable approach for a telematic add-on for remotely planning biopsies on the Virtobot robotic system. Data sets are encrypted and submitted over the Internet. A plugin for the OsiriX medical image viewer allows for remote planning of needle trajectories that are used for needle placement. The application of teleradiological methods to image-guided biopsy in the forensic setting has the potential to reduce costs and, in conjunction with a mobile computer tomographic scanner, allows for tissue sampling in a mass casualty situation involving nuclear, biological, or chemical agents, in a manner that minimizes the risk to involved staff.
在过去十年中，医学成像技术越来越多地应用于法医调查。为了获取组织学和毒理学信息，需要组织和液体样本。在本文中，我们描述了一种低成本、安全且可靠的方法的开发，该方法用于为Virtobot机器人系统远程规划活检的远程信息附加装置。数据集经过加密并通过互联网提交。OsiriX医学图像查看器的一个插件允许远程规划用于针头放置的针道。在法医环境中，将远程放射学方法应用于图像引导活检有可能降低成本，并且与移动计算机断层扫描仪相结合，能够在涉及核、生物或化学制剂的大规模伤亡情况下进行组织采样，同时将对相关工作人员的风险降至最低。
