VMI Flatscan 3D Forensic CT Imaging System
The Flatscan 3D is an advanced X-ray tomographic system for body inspection, developed for forensic applications that require high precision and reliability in diagnostics. Equipped with real-time 3D reconstruction technology, the system generates high-definition images in the DICOM 3 medical imaging standard. With a 32-slice architecture, it enables full tomographic scans from multiple angles, allowing detailed volumetric reconstructions for the precise detection of injuries, foreign bodies and hidden evidence, significantly reducing the need for invasive procedures.
