虚拟解剖技术的应用研究进展

尸体解剖是法医学传统的、经典的技术手段,但由于需破坏尸体,尸体解剖有时会遭到抵制和排斥。虚拟解剖技术为法医学检验提供了一种非侵入性的检验途径,可客观准确地反映骨折、软组织损伤、创道、器官损伤等,为法医学鉴定实践提供直观有力的证据。本文综合国内外最新文献资料,从虚拟解剖在法医损伤鉴定、机械性窒息、溺死、高低温死亡、疾病诊断及其在法医有限元损伤研究中的应用等方面进行综述,阐述了这一新的法医学研究方向。

Research Development and Application of Virtopsy

Autopsy represents traditional and classical examination in forensic medicine. It was suggested that conventional autopsy, nowadays sometimes rejected or not tolerated by people for its damage to corpse. Virtopsy offers a non-invasive investigation approach and can also reflect fracture, soft-tissue in- jury, wound track, organ trauma objectively and accurately. Thus, virtopsy can provide visual and power- ful evidence for forensic pathological practice. This article mainly synthesizes the latest literature at home and abroad and reviews application of virtopsy in forensic trauma identification, mechanical as- phyxia, drowning, hypothermia and hyperpothermia, disease diagnosis and research of finite element method applicated in trauma investigation to illustrate this new direction of forensic research.
