Forensic imaging is central to modern death investigation — postmortem CT, skeletal survey X-rays, MRI, fluoroscopy, scene and examination photography, and video. For too long, viewing that imagery has meant a separate PACS application, a separate login, and a manual step to connect a study back to the right case. Zeph closes that gap: a full DICOM workstation now lives inside the case file itself.
A Real Viewer, Not a Thumbnail
The imaging module is a genuine diagnostic-style viewer, not a static preview. Inside the case you can:
- Zoom and pan to inspect fine detail without leaving the page
- Adjust windowing (brightness/contrast) to bring out bone, soft tissue, or foreign objects
- Step through a series slice by slice, and move between series in a multi-sequence study
- Drive everything from the keyboard for fast, repeatable review
- Read the DICOM metadata — modality, study and series details — right alongside the image
Every Modality, One Place
The same viewer handles the full range of forensic media: CT, X-ray, MRI, and fluoroscopy DICOM studies, plus standard photography and video. The PACS workspace organizes studies into clear cards with modality colour stripes and filter chips, so a reviewer can jump straight to "show me only the CT" or "show me the radiographs" without scrolling through everything.
Structured Annotation
Findings belong in structured fields, not a free-text blob. The imaging tab pairs the viewer with a structured annotation form, so observations are captured consistently and stay searchable and reportable. Whether you're flagging a fracture pattern, a projectile, or a device, the annotation lands in a form the rest of the system understands.
Imaging in Context
Because the workstation is part of the case rather than a bolt-on, imagery sits beside the autopsy, toxicology, evidence, and documents it relates to. Access follows the same role-based permissions and audit logging as everything else in Zeph — so sensitive imagery is governed exactly like the rest of the record, and every view is accounted for.
