The CT Scan is an amazing machine, capable of viewing inside the
human body without any cutting; producing hundreds of 2D cross-sectional
slices of the human body from head to toe.
In a court room presentation, showing 2D slices to explain an injury to the jury is often
inefficient or worse, confusing. A more clear, concise, understandable explanation is easily demonstrated with a 3D model or image.
Purdy Imaging can extract 3D information from any CT scan and subsequently be presented in a
user-friendly way that juries can easily relate to. We are able process the 2D slices and
construct a 3D image or a 3D model
A recent study by NIH
demonstrates the efficacy of 3D Imagery used in court:
"Evidence presented within a courtroom should be clear so that the members of the
jury can understand it. The presentation of distressing images, such as human remains,
can have a negative effect on the jury since photographic images may evoke emotional
responses. Therefore, it is important to understand how other visual mediums may improve
comprehension, bias, or distress individuals. For this study, 91 individuals were randomly
assigned one of three visual evidence formats in a mock courtroom exercise. These included
photographs, 3D visualisations, or a 3D-printed model. The results show that the use of
3D imaging improves the juror’s understanding of technical language used within a courtroom,
which in turn better informs the juror’s in their decision-making."
