Diagnostic accuracy of post-mortem cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in fetuses, newborns, and children
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Whole body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is increasingly used as an alternative for conventional autopsy; however, a recent systematic review suggested that post-mortem MR imaging had a sensitivity of 12% (95% CI-0.4 to 31) for detecting major cardiac pathology (Thayyil et al. Eur J Radiol 2010; 75(1):e142-8). We wanted to compare the accuracy of high-resolution 3D post-mortem cardiovascular MR (CMR) imaging with conventional cardiac autopsy in fetuses, newborns and children.

BACKGROUND Minimally invasive autopsy by post mortem magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been suggested as an alternative for conventional autopsy in view of the declining consented autopsy rates. However, large prospective studies rigorously evaluating the accuracy of such an approach are lacking. We intend to compare the accuracy of a minimally invasive autopsy approach using post mortem MR i...

BACKGROUND Perinatal and pediatric autopsies have declined worldwide in the past decade. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of postmortem, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with conventional autopsy and histopathology assessment in fetuses and children. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed postmortem magnetic resonance imaging in 400 fetuses and children, using a 1.5-T Siemens Avan...

To investigate and control quality, one must be able to measure quality-related attributes. Quality of produce encompasses sensory attributes, nutritive values, chemical constituents, mechanical properties, functional properties and defects. MRI has great potential for evaluating the quality of fruits and vegetables. The equipment now available is not feasible for routine quality testing. The ...

Introduction: In neonatal period, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best neuroimaging to find etiology of seizure. The aim of this study was to evaluate brain MRI findings of neonates with clinical seizure and its effect on diagnostic and therapeutic interventions of newborn. Methods: In a retrospective study, medical records and brain MRI findings of neonates with clinical seizure...

BACKGROUND Post-mortem MRI is a potential diagnostic alternative to conventional autopsy, but few large prospective studies have compared its accuracy with that of conventional autopsy. We assessed the accuracy of whole-body, post-mortem MRI for detection of major pathological lesions associated with death in a prospective cohort of fetuses and children. METHODS In this prospective validation...
