Section room

When performing an autopsy, also known as an autopsy, we are reminded of Rembrandt's famous painting, 'The anatomy lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp'. Dissection is an external and internal examination of a deceased person by a pathologist. This medical specialist begins with an external examination, followed by an internal examination in which almost all organs are viewed. Such an examination takes about three hours and may only be done with the consent of the next of kin. If a crime is suspected, this consent is not necessary.
