The scan would have to be done first, of course. But no, it can't replace toxicology screening. Not yet, anyway. I can imagine a future in which a scan picks up the precise chemical signature of a toxin in the brain or organs.I would love to see what medical and forensic technology will look like in 100 Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-47299803095290166752012-04-11T09:05:01.046-04:002012-04-11T09:05:01.046-04:00And, Sheila, looking forward to your new work.

For example, if someone has been shot, they are still going to have to extract the bullet for evidence. Or what about poisons? There will still have to be something other than simply a visual look to find out what poison was used.

You mean CSI might actually have gotten something right?<br /><br />I'll admit I'm having fun with my WIP because my protagonist is solving murders where no one believes murders exist, and there is no forensic evidence available--only some specialized knowledge that is not immediately obvious. Maybe I'm a throwback.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.com
