Yes.

Internally.
Is there a specific time it is utilized more than others?
Body mapping i.e. the digital representation of injuries sustained by a deceased person for presentation at court. The injuries themselves are taken from actual post-mortem photos and superimposed on 3D models to provide a dispassionate but accurate record of injuries both internally and externally.
Do you think it has a place to be developed within injury documentation in the future?
Yes. This niche specialist digital imaging service is constantly developing as the software becomes more sophisticated, the models more varied and practitioner competence increases.
