About
Hans Ulrich Bucher is a leading figure in perinatal medicine, with a research focus on neonatal intensive care, fetal and infant pathology, and the development of non-invasive autopsy techniques. His most significant contribution lies in pioneering the use of post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a minimally invasive alternative to conventional autopsy for fetuses, newborns, and infants. This work addresses the critical global decline in autopsy rates, offering a more acceptable option for bereaved families while still providing essential diagnostic information. His landmark study protocol for the Paediatric Virtual Autopsy Trial, which has garnered 38 citations, systematically compares imaging-guided virtual autopsy with traditional methods, evaluating its efficacy in detecting causes of death. By advancing this technique, Bucher has helped establish a new standard in perinatal pathology, enabling more families to consent to post-mortem examinations and improving the accuracy of infant death investigations. His research bridges radiology, pathology, and neonatology, making a lasting impact on how we understand and investigate early-life mortality.
