Applicability of virtopsy in veterinary practice: a short review
Virtopsy is a new and rapidly evolving non-invasive autopsy procedure involving the use of modern imagingmodalities. It basically consists of three-dimensional body surface scanning by photogrammetry, multi-slicecomputed tomography (MSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for analysis and recordi...
