AB - There is insufficient evidence in the published literature to support the use of post-mortem MR imaging (MRI) as an alternative for conventional non-forensic autopsy in fetuses, newborns and children. Large prospective studies evaluating the accuracy of post-mortem MR imaging in a rigorous and blinded way are now nearing completion and the results are expected in 2011. Less-invasive autopsies by post-mortem MR imaging may have major effect in resurrecting consented autopsy rates; however an evidenced based and systematic approach towards less-invasive autopsy process is mandatory to ensure that the post-mortem data remains accurate and credible. Here we summarize the current evidence, ongoing research and future directions for less-invasive autopsy process in the United Kingdom. A joint effort between clinicians, radiologists, pathologists, parent groups and funding bodies is essential for successful implementation of less-invasive autopsy, in the UK. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
