Minimally Invasive Autopsy Practice in COVID-19 Cases: Biosafety and Findings

Minimally Invasive Autopsy Practice in COVID-19 Cases: Biosafety and Findings

Postmortem studies are crucial for providing insight into emergent diseases. However, a complete autopsy is frequently not feasible in highly transmissible diseases due to biohazard challenges. Minimally invasive autopsy (MIA) is a needle-based approach aimed at collecting samples of key organs with...
