Abstract Dead bodies are frequently encountered at the scene of crime and it is essential to determine the cause of death, manner of death and to find any injury or disease present on the body.[1] For this purpose, highly trained and qualified surgeons are appointed to conduct post-mortem on the cadaver. Since many social communities do not permit this as it violates their ethical and religious values, therefore causing the hindrance in solving the particular case. To overcome this drawback a new technique has been introduced called virtual autopsy also known as Virtopsy. With the help of this technique we can figure out minute details on different parts of the body where even radiological rays cannot reach. It will help in better understanding of the deceased person and can be used in various medico-legal cases. Top Keywords Radiology, imaging, virtual, autopsy, dead bodies, techniques, pathologist.
