Our results show that micro-CT outperforms HF-MRI on both quantitative and qualitative outcomes. Combined, these findings suggest that the ability to extract diagnostic information from micro-CT images is higher than from HF-MRI images. We therefore believe micro-CT is the preferred imaging modality as alternative to conventional fetal autopsy for early gestation and is an indispensable tool in postmortem imaging services.
