This has reduced the need for long and laborious autopsies. after a dead soldier's body is flown back to the U.S. , entire body is put inside a CT scanner. the CT scan results quickly show where a bullet is inside the body. it also reveals broken bones. if a soldier is caught up in a fight with the enemy, they might die from a bullet, rocket launcher, and land mine explosion or maybe their Army vehicle just rolls over, crushing them underneath. By putting the bodies through a CT scanner, the cause oh death is discovered more quickly.
