Short description (German)	A micro-computed tomography scanner with angiography capabilities specialized for virtual autopsy of foetuses, newborns and infants
Abstract (German)	An existing micro-CT is expanded to enable for the postmortem scanning of fetuses and infants with a much higher spatial resolution than with conventional CT. We expect this will improve the rate of successfully identifying the cause of death, which will be the basis for a death prevention strategy.
