Loughnan SA, Wojcieszek AM, Singline L, et al. Post-Mortem Imaging to Investigate the Causes of Stillbirth in Australia: Views of Parents, Midwives and Obstetricians.

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology. 2025;0:1–10. doi: 10.1111/1754-9485.13828.

 

The discussion explores the role of post-mortem imaging (PMI) in stillbirth investigations, examining the perspectives of parents, midwives, and obstetricians. Findings reveal that PMI is underutilised, with many healthcare providers unsure of its value compared to traditional autopsy. The study highlights the need for increased education and awareness to improve uptake and integration of PMI in perinatal death investigations.
