Shelmerdine SC, et al. - In this single-center retrospective study involving 136 patients, researchers determined the diagnostic accuracy of postmortem CT in children vs standard autopsy. The study reviewed un-enhanced whole-body postmortem CT examinations of children under the age of 16 with corresponding autopsy reports regardless of the clinical indication for postmortem CT referral. Perinatal deaths have been ruled out. According to findings, postmortem CT provides an acceptable diagnostic concordance rate of 71.4% with autopsy, although the overall cause of death was low at 40.4%. For intracranial and musculoskeletal abnormalities, the sensitivity of postmortem CT vs autopsy was highest and the lowest for cardiac and abdominal findings.
