What is Known:

• Post-mortem investigations serve as a quality check for the provided health care and are important for reliable epidemiological registration.

• Post-mortem radiology, sometimes combined with minimally invasive techniques, is considered as an adjunct or alternative to autopsy.

What is New:

• We present the Dutch guidelines for post-mortem radiology in foetuses, neonates and children.

• Autopsy remains the reference standard, however minimal invasive autopsy with a skeletal survey, post-mortem computed tomography, or post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging can be complementary thereof.
