Virtual autopsies

A team of scientists in Switzerland created a system to take virtual autopsies.   They've combined a gantry mounted robotic arm with at CT scanner.  The robotic arm can change heads to take biopsies, capture a 3D surface scan, or to gather other samples.  In the example video the 3D surface scanner looks like an ATOS from GOM.  It is an interesting new use of 3D scanning technology.

Here is the original press release from the University of Bern's Institute of Forensic Medicine.
