Autopsia in vivo, also known as virtual autopsy or minimally invasive autopsy, refers to a procedure used in medical investigations to examine a deceased body without invasive dissection. It utilizes cutting-edge imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to obtain detailed visual representations of the body's internal structures. Synonyms for autopsia in vivo include noninvasive autopsy, medical imaging autopsy, and radiological autopsy. These terms highlight the innovative and non-destructive nature of this modern approach to post-mortem examinations. By employing advanced imaging technology, autopsia in vivo offers a less invasive, potentially faster, and more accurate alternative to traditional autopsies.
