We sought to understand the experiences of parents and the perceptions and practices of midwives and obstetricians regarding post\u2010mortem imaging (computed tomography [CT], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], ultrasound and X\u2010rays of the baby), in the investigation of stillbirths, and how its use and perceived value compares to that of other stillbirth investigations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cross\u2010sectional, web\u2010based surveys of parents who experienced stillbirth in Australia from 2018 to 2022 and midwives and obstetricians involved in the care of parents who experienced stillbirth in the same 5\u2009years.

According to parents, post\u2010mortem imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound and X\u2010ray) were the least discussed (1%\u201316%) and performed (0%\u201313%) stillbirth investigations. Twenty\u2010eight percent of midwives and obstetricians had recommended the option of post\u2010mortem imaging to parents, while 45% felt that doing so was beyond their scope of practice. Relative to autopsy, midwives and obstetricians were often unsure of the value of MRI across a range of clinical scenarios, and CT, MRI, ultrasound and X\u2010ray were the investigations least often discussed (17%\u201347%) with parents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Post\u2010mortem imaging is currently underutilised in the investigation of stillbirths.
