Diagnostic accuracy of post mortem MRI for abdominal abnormalities in foetuses and children

Highlights • Postmortem MR imaging (PMMR) has high overall accuracy for abdominal pathology in foetuses, newborns and children. • PMMR is particularly good at detecting renal abnormalities, and relatively poor at detecting intestinal abnormalities. • In clinical practice, PMMR may be a useful altern...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Postmortem MR imaging (PMMR) has high overall accuracy for abdominal pathology in foetuses, newborns and children. • PMMR is particularly good at detecting renal abnormalities, and relatively poor at detecting intestinal abnormalities. • In clinical practice, PMMR may be a useful alternative or adjunct to conventional autopsy in foetuses and children for detecting abdominal abnormalities.
