OBJECTIVE; Virtual autopsy methods, such as postmortem CT and MRI, are increasingly being used in forensic medicine. Forensic investigators with little to no training in diagnostic radiology and medical laypeople such as state's attorneys often find it difficult to understand the anatomic orientation of axial postmortem CT images. We present a computer-assisted system that permits postmortem CT datasets to be quickly and intuitively resliced in real time at the body to narrow the gap between radiologic imaging and autopsy.
Our system is a potentially valuable tool for planning autopsies, showing findings to medical laypeople, and teaching CT anatomy, thus further closing the gap between radiology and forensic pathology.
目的；虚拟解剖方法，如死后 CT 和 MRI，在法医学中越来越多地被使用。在诊断放射学方面几乎没有接受过培训的法医调查人员和州检察官等医学外行，往往发现很难理解轴向死后 CT 图像的解剖方位。我们提出了一个计算机辅助系统，可以快速直观地实时对尸体进行死后 CT 数据集的再切片，以缩小放射成像和尸检之间的差距。
我们的系统是一个有潜力的工具，可用于规划解剖，向医学外行展示发现，并教授 CT 解剖学，从而进一步缩小放射学和法医病理学之间的差距。
