(名詞) 虛擬驗屍 (virtual autopsy)：利用醫學影像裝置來建立屍體詳細的三度空間影像後，再根據這些 3D 影像所進行的驗屍。
引句：
Prof Thali and his team carried out an autopsy on the woman, but not the kind we're used to seeing in television shows such as CSI and countless police dramas. This was a scalpel-free, virtual autopsy, or "virtopsy" — a radical new approach to forensic investigation, in which Professor Thali is one of the pioneers.
—Laura Spinney, "Body of evidence: A radical new approach to forensic pathology," The Independent, May 31, 2010
