Virtopsy is one step towards this end. Virtopsy came from virtual autopsy, which is a scalpel free procedure of autopsy carried out using modern medical, imaging and measuring technology. The technique could offer an alternative to the standard invasive procedure that upsets many families and is prohibited by some religion.
