This scientific article analyzes "Virtopsy" (virtual autopsy), an innovative direction emerging in modern forensic medical practice. The study provides a comparative analysis of the limitations inherent in traditional pathological autopsy methods and the advantages offered by digital visualization technologies (MSCT, MRI, 3D surface scanning). Furthermore, it substantiates the relevance of implementing virtual autopsy within the framework of the national-religious values and the medico-legal system of Uzbekistan, emphasizing its evidentiary value in judicial proceedings.
