Diagnostic Yield of Post-Mortem Fetal Micro-CT for Central Nervous System Abnormalities.
Key Points
To evaluate the effectiveness of post-mortem Micro-CT imaging in identifying CNS abnormalities in fetuses after pregnancy loss.
Utilized post-mortem Micro-CT imaging on early gestation fetuses
Assessed a range of central nervous system abnormalities
Analyzed cases with and without maceration.
Successfully identified various CNS abnormalities through imaging
Demonstrated effectiveness even in cases of fetal maceration
Highlighted the potential for improved diagnostic clarity in early pregnancy loss cases.
Abstract
Post-mortem Micro-CT imaging can identify a wide range of CNS abnormalities following pregnancy loss in early gestation fetuses, even in the presence of maceration.
