Overview Forensic X-ray
In 2019, LINEV Systems introduced the forensic body scanner FOBOS XR to the market, which is a unique technical solution for forensic pathologists based on patented x-ray scanning technology.
The scanner allows specialists to use the method of non-invasive autopsy and examination of the human body, including internal organs, and decide whether it is necessary to dissect the body in each case, as well as to ascertain the cause of death.
FOBOS XR is a stationary diagnostic digital radiology forensic system. The system is designed to acquire whole-body digital X-Ray images of bone structures and soft tissues. The forensic X-ray system allows to capture of both AP and lateral scans. FOBOS is a task-oriented system designed to be used in morgues and forensic centers.
FOBOS XR is unique technical solution for forensic pathologists
The Forensic Body Scanner FOBOS XR is a convenient tool, with its help a Forensic Pathologist can often indirectly determine the cause of death – whether it was violent or not, as well as to conclude whether a physical autopsy is necessary.
FOBOS XR provides a full-body view at any angle in the range from 0 to 90 degrees in a scan time of only 13 seconds. The forensic X-ray system provides diagnostic image quality with high spatial resolution, an image quality that has no equivalent quality among competitors.
High resolution radiographic images
FOBOS XR can provide very high-resolution images showing inclusions down to 0.1 mm and changes in the structure of tissues and bones. All this information allows the doctor to form a picture when establishing an optimum diagnosis, up to the rejection of the traditional physical autopsy procedure.
The forensic X-ray system has a lifting rechargeable table with a load capacity of up to 350 kg and an adjustable platform height for the convenience of loading bodies onto it and moving them to the scanner. The scanning view is provided at any angle — from 0 to 90 degrees.
The Forensic Pathologist always has access to the database saved by the system, by surname, date, and/or a series of linked images to return to them at any time if necessary and edit, add images from a different angle etc.
