Answer 1

Answer:

1. How is a virtual autopsy different from a regular autopsy? How are they similar? (two to three sentences)

A regular autopsy is in person and only uses the senses of the regular person, and photography. Virtual autopsies include full CT scan of the body and X-rays, this shows every part and the layers of the body and takes away the option of human error.

2. What are some possible advantages and disadvantages of virtual autopsies? (two to three sentences)

Loss of data is possible. Lots of data means lots of storage needed.

3. Do you think virtual autopsies will ever replace regular autopsies? Why or why not? (two to three sentences)

No, I think that regular autopsies are just as important as virtual ones, that way, when performing autopsies you can physically go back and check something, rather than just be limited by the data on the computer.

4. Which type of autopsy would you rather do and why? (two to three sentences)

Virtual, I personally would rather stay away from the medical examiners side of things and not deal with human remains.

Explanation:

Disadvantages

Metal foreign objects.

One cannot determine the color of internal organs and color changes.

One cannot determine all the pathological conditions (e.g. inflammation)

One cannot determine the infection status of tissue.

It is difficult to differentiate antemortem from postmortem wounds and postmortem artifacts.
