Move aside CSI medical experts. The researchers at the University of Zurich in Switzerland have developed a robotic system that can help in an autopsy by spotting physical abnormalities on a body.

The system will give pathologists data to determine the cause of death. The Virtopsy system will create a detailed 3D model of a body, and is able to inject a body with a high-contrast chemical solution before performing an automated CT scan. [Virtopsy via Medgadget]
