Forensic multidimesnional reconstruction as based on post-mortem image examination and spherical photography

The aim of the paper is to present the methods of creating multi-dimensional reconstructions used in modern forensic medicine and state-of-the-art autopsy technique. Making use of the computer tomography technology and sophisticated software by the forensic pathologists allows a new standard of quality to be introduced into the forensic medical examination and hitherto unprecedented effects to be obtained. These developments significantly enhance the information available to the expert, particularly in case where an incident involved the use of firearms, the presence of foreign object in the body of the deceased, or advanced decay of the corps. Furthermore, the paper touches upon a subject of attempting a spatial photographic reconstruction of the scene of incident using the techniques applied in spherical photography and commercial-off-the-shelf compute software. Irrespectively of the advancements in the forensic techniques, it is worth taking a look at the proposed changes of the forensic paradigm relative to data analysis. The novel methods expand the scope of the detection process which, in turn, can contribute to increase of crime fighting efficiency.
