Summary

As mentioned previously, review of any prenatal imaging (transabdominal ultrasonography, or maternal/fetal MR imaging) of fetal cases, or antemortem studies of liveborns, will assist greatly in the planning of the prosection. In addition, postmortem imaging (whether of the whole infant or of the isolated brain specimen) may be desirable in certain circumstances, assuming the consent for examination includes this as a diagnostic technique, and has the obvious advantage of lack of movement artifact
