Abstract
A major advancement in forensic science has been made with the introduction of virtual autopsies, which improve conventional investigative techniques by utilizing cutting-edge imaging technologies. This article offers a thorough analysis of the idea and significance of virtual autopsy in forensic investigations. We describe the shift from conventional to virtual procedures by tracing the development and history of autopsy techniques. A step-by-step summary of the virtual autopsy procedure is provided after an examination of the technology underlying virtual autopsies, including CT and MRI images. There is a full discussion of the use of virtual autopsies in forensic investigations, including how they can be used to identify victims of disasters and perform no-cut autopsies to solve crimes. We discuss the benefits of virtual autopsies for forensic science developments as well as their drawbacks and restrictions, including acceptance, expenses, and technology limitations. Case studies showing global perspectives and the global acceptance of virtual autopsies are used to help the exploration of ethical issues and future trends in virtual autopsy technologies. These observations are summarized in the conclusion, which also highlights how virtual autopsies have revolutionized forensic investigations and looks forward to future developments in the area.
