Necropsy by magnetic resonance in a case of conjoined thoracopagus twins

A C Manzano et al. J Magn Reson Imaging. 2001 Jun.

Abstract

A case of thoracopagus conjoined stillborn twins studied with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presented. Due to the parents' denial of authorization for an autopsy of the fetuses, the MRI study was performed as an alternative to necropsy. High-resolution images of the fetuses demonstrated relevant anatomic features, providing noninvasive pathological insight with preservation of the fetal specimen. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2001;13:976-981.
