FOBOS XR (forensic X-ray system): The Future of Forensic Imaging
According to Dr. Kathryn Pinneri, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, 750 forensic pathologists will be working full-time in the United States in 2022.

For that reason, specialists of forensic centers must cope with an incredible amount of work.

NDT X-ray imaging tools, such as forensic X-ray body scanners (forensic X-ray), and specifically the FOBOS XR system, offer numerous benefits for autopsies. They provide non-invasive, high-resolution images of the entire body, enabling pathologists to identify internal injuries, fractures, and abnormalities without disturbing the body’s integrity. This is particularly important in certain legal cases and cultural contexts. Additionally, these scanners quickly produce comprehensive images, reducing the time spent on traditional autopsies and increasing efficiency, especially in situations with high case volumes or limited resources. Furthermore, forensic X-ray body scanners facilitate early detection of issues that may not be immediately apparent during a traditional autopsy, such as small fractures, foreign objects, or subtle tissue damage, ultimately leading to more accurate conclusions.

The FOBOS XR, a full body radiography device, a forensic X-ray body scanner, was initially designed as a high-tech x-ray solution for medical examiners. The main aim of this technology is to help count down on lengthy, time-consuming, and sometimes unnecessary autopsies. This product performs some beats anything else on the market with excellent graded image quality provisioned by innovative photon counting direct conversion detection technology.

The system software is user-friendly, and image history can be accessed and retrieved instantly thanks to its advanced database. This advanced screening solution combats many inspection problems that are commonly experienced when carrying out autopsies manually, including evidence preservation, time constraint, religious issues, and even the weight and density of the body.

What Is A Forensic X-ray Body Scan?

Forensic X-ray body scans are advanced imaging techniques that capture high-resolution X-ray images of the entire body. These scans play a significant role in forensic medicine and investigation by helping experts discover crucial information about injuries, diseases, or causes of death. Imagine having a powerful high-tech microscope to study the human body – that’s what a forensic X-ray body scan does!

What Shows Up On A Body Scanner (forensic X-ray)?

The FOBOS XR system (forensic X-ray) is capable of visualizing both bone structures and soft tissues. You’ll be able to see bones, joints, muscles, organs, and even foreign objects inside the body. It’s like having an all-in-one, detailed view of the internal anatomy, making it incredibly valuable for various academic and research purposes. The Forensic X-ray Body Scanner FOBOS XR is a unique cost-effective technical solution for forensic pathologists which is based on patented X-ray scanning technology. The forensic X-ray scanner enables pathologists to use 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 to find out the cause of death. It takes just 13 seconds for a specialist to receive a high-quality image of internal organs, soft tissues, and other aspects of the whole body.

Is There A Shortage Of Forensic Pathologists In The US?

Yes, the United States is currently facing a shortage of forensic pathologists (medical healthcare professional who examines bodies and body tissues). This has resulted in increased caseloads and longer waiting times for autopsies, affecting criminal investigations and public health research. For university students considering their career options, forensic pathology presents a unique opportunity due to the high demand for skilled professionals in this field.

How Long Does A Full Body Scan Last?

The time it takes to complete a full body scan using the FOBOS XR system depends on factors such as the settings used and the specific area being scanned. Generally, a full body scan can range from just a few minutes to around half an hour. The speed and efficiency of this technology make it an invaluable resource for a variety of applications in forensic medicine, research, and more.

FOBOS XR (Forensic Body Scanner) is a stationary diagnostic digital forensic X-ray 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 (scans under any angles from 0 to 90° would be an additional option). FOBOS XR is a task-oriented system designed to be used in morgues and forensic centers.

The FOBOS XR provides detailed and high-resolution X-ray images of bodies for non-invasive forensic pathology. One complete scan of a body takes less than 30 seconds, with AP and LP scans completed under one minute.

Embedded software

Forensic X-ray scanning machine comes with PACS data management software package, which allows intuitive control of the system and provides advanced image editing.

Adjustable X-ray cart

The adjustable x-ray cart is designed to operate with up to 340 kg / 750 lbs. The significant width of the x-ray cart helps operators deal with larger size bodies. The x-ray tabletop is made of perfectly translucent carbon-fiber material with no artifacts visible on the images. The cart is equipped with 120 mm / 4.7″ height adjustment mechanism and convenient wheels for body transportation.

Peculiarities:

  • High penetration capability due to the high innovation critical components (X-ray generator and detector) makes it possible to examine bodies up to 340 kg / 750 lbs. Penetration capability by Al – min. 12″, by H2O – 32″
  • Due to advanced technology the maintenance cost is significantly reduced. Critical components have a high level of reliability, which minimizes the System’s downtime
  • The adjustable table provides an additional advantage for loading bodies from carts
  • Design allows getting full-body images without moving or contacting the body directly
  • Automatic moving parts, such as linear drive and C-arm, enable more effective image capture than conventional C-arm
