PM-MRI performed significantly better than PM-US in this unselected population, due mainly to a lower non-diagnostic rate. PM-MRI should remain the first-line imaging investigation for perinatal autopsy, but PM-US could be considered if MRI is not available, albeit with a higher non-diagnostic rate.
