Cuttack, Feb 11: SCB Hospital & Medical College,Cuttack is going to launch virtual post-mortem system like AIIMS. The new system will not involve physical sections of the body. An automatic post-mortem desk can reveal the cause of death.

SCB Medical College and Hospital is going to be improved as a world class health provider. Amid this development, SCB is going to do away with the traditional post-mortem system. It will be replaced with a modern post-mortem automatic desk.

Previously, post-mortem  was being carried out by cutting and cross-section of a body. Bodies involving Medico Legal Complicacy (MLC) and death during medical care were examined by physical dissection.

State’s Forensic Medicine and Technology(FMT) has proposed SCB authorities to adopt virtual post-mortem like AIIMS, New Delhi.

On the other hand, the new method of post mortem will   be a new revolution to detect the accurate cause of death, said the Head of the FMT department, Dr. Gita Sahu.
