  • Title: Low-field dedicated magnetic resonance imaging: a potential tool for assisting perinatal autopsy.
    Author: Langer B, Choquet P, Ravier S, Gasser B, Schlaeder G, Constantinesco A.
    Journal: Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol; 1998 Oct; 12(4):271-5. PubMed ID: 9819860.
    Abstract:
    Although the practice of perinatal autopsy has increased in recent years, examination of the fetus and especially of the fetal brain during the first trimester or the beginning of the second trimester remains difficult. Postmortem high-resolution images of the brain of a normal and an abnormal fetus of the same gestational age (22 weeks) were obtained with a low-field (0.1 T) dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. We demonstrated that a small MRI machine supplemented data from classical necropsy and may help in the interpretation of in utero ultrasound and magnetic resonance images for the antenatal diagnosis of fetal malformations.
