Developing a UHS clinical service for investigating early pregnancy loss: utilising μCT as a less invasive alternative to conventional autopsy
Developing a UHS clinical service for investigating early pregnancy loss: utilising μCT as a less invasive alternative to conventional autopsy
Of the 731,000 babies born in the UK in 2018, there were around 250,000 miscarriages, 2,958 stillbirths, and 2,131 neonatal deaths. Perinatal autopsy is a standard method of investigating foetal death, but it can be traumatic for bereaved parents and take months to produce a report. Human foetal imaging-based post-mortem autopsy (fPMA) using X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) was developed at the Great Ormond Street Hospital and offers a minimally invasive alternative to conventional autopsy. UoS, UHS, and GOSH collaborate to introduce the service at UHS and offer it to the local community

Abstract
Of the 731,000 babies born in the UK in 2018, there were around 250,000 miscarriages, 2,958 stillbirths, and 2,131 neonatal deaths. Perinatal autopsy is a standard method of investigating foetal death, but it can be traumatic for bereaved parents and take months to produce a report. Human foetal imaging-based post-mortem autopsy (fPMA) using X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) was developed at the Great Ormond Street Hospital and offers a minimally invasive alternative to conventional autopsy. UoS, UHS, and GOSH collaborate to introduce the service at UHS and offer it to the local community
