Abstract

The discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895 originated the field of radiology. The use of x-rays to assist autopsy was introduced in 1898 and used for decades by pathologists. Virtopsia consists of the use of imaging modalities, such as, tomography and angiotomography computed, magnetic resonance imaging and minimally invasive techniques post mortem as a complementary method, screening or even replacement of conventional autopsies. In veterinary medicine, few articles have been published about it and, therefore, present a perspective of innovative studies on the subject. This literature review aims to present the scenario of tomography and angiotomography computed post mortem in medicine and veterinary medicine, contributing to the literature on this new modality of interaction between Diagnostic imaging and Pathology.
