What are Some Challenges in Histological Examination of Autopsy Tissues?
One of the main challenges is the potential for tissue degradation, which can occur if there is a significant delay between death and tissue collection. Autolysis and putrefaction can compromise the quality of the tissue samples. Additionally, artifacts introduced during tissue processing, such as shrinkage or distortion, can complicate the interpretation of the histological findings. Ensuring proper preservation and handling of tissues is therefore essential for accurate histological analysis.
