Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Because of the raise of parental refusal of autopsy, we intend to assess the local feasibility of a minimally invasive autopsy approach using post mortem MR imaging of fetuses and newborns in order to detect the major pathological abnormalities and/or to determinate the cause of death.
