The autopsy appears to be on the way to assuming an increasingly important role in patient care, continuing education, education of medical students and house staff, research in environmental pathology, and more fundamental aspects of disease. This trend needs to be nurtured. Not only pathologists but all physicians need to plan carefully to utilize autopsies to the fullest possible extent. Interest will continue to grow only if autopsies are performed or are closely supervised by highly motivated and experienced pathologists asking critical questions of current medical, scientific, and social concern. New, imaginative approaches are needed to develop the data necessary to address these questions.
尸检似乎正朝着在患者护理、继续教育、医学生和住院医师培训、环境病理学研究以及疾病更基础方面发挥越来越重要作用的方向发展。这种趋势需要得到培育。不仅病理学家，所有医生都需要仔细规划，以尽可能充分地利用尸检。只有在由积极主动且经验丰富的病理学家进行尸检或密切监督，他们提出有关当前医学、科学和社会关注的关键问题时，人们的兴趣才会持续增长。需要新的、富有想象力的方法来获取解决这些问题所需的数据。
