 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Virtual Autopsy
[edit]Virtual Autopsies are performed using radiographic techniques which can be used in post-mortem examinations for a deceased individual.[1] It is an alternative to medical autopsies, where radiographs are used, for example, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Computed tomography (CT scan) which produce radiographic images in order to determine the cause of death, the nature, and the manner of death, without dissecting the deceased. It can also be used in the identification of the deceased[2]. This method is helpful in determining the questions pertaining to an autopsy without putting the examiner at risk of biohazardous materials that can be in an individual's body.
Academic Autopsy
[edit]Academic Autopsies are performed by students of anatomy for study purposes only. The main purpose of these autopsies is for education, where medical students and residents get to experience viewing anatomy and pathology firsthand. Postmortem examinations require the skill to connect anatomic and clinical pathology together since they involve organ systems and interruptions from antemortem and post mortem. These Academic Autopsies allow for students to practice and develop skills in pathology and become meticulous in later case examinations[3].
