However, since 2004,every American soldier killed in Iraq or Afghanistan has been scanned. The practice of using CT scans to check dead people's bodies stared in Switzerland a decade ago. It was quickly adopted by the U.S.Military.This has reduced the need for long and laborious autopsies. After a dead soldier's body is flown back to the U.S.,their 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 of death is discoved more quickly.
