The new autopsy does not need to have a dead body

British scientists found a way to autopsy to determine the cause of death without operating a corpse.

The research team at the University of Leicester, UK, applied imaging techniques called vascular X-ray examination of computer autopsies (PMCTA) to help investigators learn 240 deaths, Mirror on 24 / 5 news. Their findings suggest that PMCTA can determine the cause of adult adult death by 92% without autopsy.

According to the researchers, using PMCTA instead of autopsies to examine sudden natural death cases has a positive and profound effect on religious groups and communities in the UK and many other countries.

" We hope our research results will have a great impact on the future of autopsies in the UK and around the world. For years, scientists have been working hard to develop the method. An alternative approach to limiting cadaver dissection, but the method of autopsy remains the standard method to date, " said lead researcher Guy Rutty.

A previous study on PMCTA showed the prospect of using medical imaging to investigate the cause of natural death. But this method has a major weakness that is unable to diagnose coronary artery disease, the most common cause of natural death.

" In clinical computed tomography, a contrast agent is injected into the vein and the blood circulation process carries it throughout the body. The scanner then displays the state of the blood vessels at any But for dead bodies, blood is not circulated, so we cannot use the technique, " said Bruno Morgan, a member of the research team.

Now the problem has been overcome by the team by developing a minimally invasive coronary angiography. " Minimally invasive techniques mean that we use a catheter to insert into the artery, then take an X-ray ," Morgan said.
