ABSTRACT: Nowadays, technological advances are becoming more and more important in forensic sciences. Yet autopsy is still one of the very traditional methods. This also applies for dental autopsies, in which visual, photographic and radiological evidences are collected. Virtual Autopsy appears as a helpful and complementary tool for dental and medical cadaveric examination. Using high-tech radiological approaches, Virtual Autopsy may provide, through images, an efficient and more accurate view on the individual case. This critical review aims to update on the origin, applications of virtopsy and also the role of dentists in this field. Keywords: Autopsy; Radiology; Forensic Odontology INTRODUCTION: Death is an inevitable part of life and at psychiatry and behavioural science, few occasions scientific examination of questioned documents, toxicology and bodies after death becomes mandatory. physical anthropology.

These 2,3 imaging challenges fall broadly into 3 categories: (1) image acquis- amounts to $8 billion per year in the United States. ition, (2) image interpretation (including physiological and pathologic The main challenge to diagnosis is the broad range of mimics), and (3) result communication. The aims of this review are to pathologies that can cause chest pain. Vascular causes describe and illustrate the most common challenges in the imaging of include pulmonary embolism (PE), traumatic and acute chest pain and to provide solutions that will facilitate accurate spontaneous aortic syndromes including aortic transection, diagnosis of the causes of acute chest pain in the emergency setting. dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating athero- sclerotic ulcer, aortitis, and coronary artery disease.
