Digital Autopsy Software Solution or iDASS™ in short, is the forensic specific 3D visualization engine for Digital Autopsy. iDASS™  enables the users to do Volume Rendering and Real Time Viewing of the Digital Body from the 3000 to 5000 DICOM slices obtained from MSCT after Whole Body Scanning. The system incorporated various INFOVALLEY® proprietary technology such as LDM™ for efficient management of large output data of the Whole Body Scanning and inbuilt DICOM parser which Forensic pathologist can upload external DICOM images for 3D reconstruction & analysis.

Forensic pathologist has the option to do a friendly set-up of slice stack up to at least 2000 images with reconstruction time of not more than 2 minutes to generate the digital body in 3D. iDASS™ has forensic specific 3D, MPR and 2D capabilities whereby the forensic pathologist is able to carry following described functionalities like MIP (Maximum Intensity Projection), SSD (Shaded Surface Display) and reformatting of the Digital Body.

Some of the interesting 3D features and functionalities of iDASS include:

• Forensic Presets: External (with body bag), Skin, Muscle, Internal visceral(e.g. Heart, Kidney, Liver), Internal visceral-2(e.g. Heart), Bone, Lungs, Sinus and foreign objects such as metal and bullets.

• Cavity in 3D: Lung and sinus view

• Volume Matching: compare to sets of DICOM data for comparison and matching /identification

• Rapid reformatting of an axial image in sagittal, coronal, curved linear and oblique planes for real time display. Synchronization with three viewers: Forensic pathologist has been given an inbuilt cross hair to synchronize between axial, coronal and saggital views

iDASS™ is running on the visualization workstation display matrix of UltraSharp(TM) 30" Flat Panel LCD Monitor (Analog & DVI): 2560 X 1600, with 1.5GB NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 Graphic Card, as well as DADS™Smart LCD Screen. DADS™Smart LCD Screen allows forensic pathologists to examine digital representations of real bodies in minute detail by manipulating digital bodies using touch and finger gestures similar to procedures in the classical autopsy.
