The special scanner – only the second in the country – was unveiled in Bradford at the end of May and is now ready to become operational.
It is next to the city public mortuary in Burnham Avenue and aims to improve the performance and results of post-mortems investigations, and create a more humanitarian way of conducting them.
The system, created by Malaysian company iGene, and supported by Saad Foundation has a CT scanner and revolutionary software, and ends with a 3D reconstruction of a body on a computer screen for a pathologist to examine, which can take as little as 12 minutes.
