Description
Summary:In this paper we document the first reported use of virtual autopsy tools in Saudi Received Arabia. The subject was a female stillbirth who was subjected to a multi-detector CT Accepted scan, revealing radiological findings consistent with the diagnosis of Available Online autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).
