Virtopsy of a gravid Boa constrictor using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]

Veterinary and Animal Science, 2020
: This article presents radiologic examinations of a deeply sedated Boa constrictor with boid inclusion body disease (BIBD) as an adjunction to the subsequent necropsy. This method is known as virtopsy. The Boa constrictor in the present case was gravid.

Post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging with computed tomography-guided biopsy for foetuses and infants: a prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study [PDF]

BMC Pediatrics, 2022
Background Post-mortem imaging has been suggested as an alternative to conventional autopsy in the prenatal and postnatal periods. Noninvasive autopsies do not provide tissue for histological examination, which may limit their clinical value, especially ...

Interstellar encounter: Postmortem imaging and virtopsy on a preserved anencephalic Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin specimen after 30 years [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Anencephaly is a deadly type of cephalic axial skeletal and neural disorder with a multifactorial aetiology that causes the failure of the rostral neuropore closure, compromising the formation of the neural folds, basicranium, and neurocranium.

Whole-body non-forensic fetal virtopsy using postmortem magnetic resonance imaging at 7 Tesla vs classical autopsy. [PDF]

Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the diagnostic accuracy of virtual autopsy using whole‐body postmortem ultra‐high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 7 Tesla (T), using a short T2‐weighted imaging (T2‐WI) protocol, compared with classical autopsy, for detecting structural abnormalities in small second‐trimester fetuses. Methods Thirty consecutive

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Diagnosing Rare Calf Muscle Metastasis of Lung Cancer: A Case Report With Literature Review. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle metastasis, though rare in lung cancer, can mimic thromboembolic disease. We describe a patient with squamous cell carcinoma who developed bilateral calf swelling postoperatively. While ultrasound revealed right popliteal vein thrombosis, a left calf hypoechoic lesion exhibited marked hypervascularity on contrast‐enhanced and ...

Virtopsy in conjoined ischiopagus twins

Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2017
To propose a multidisciplinary protocol for postmortem disclosure of complex fetal malformations, comparing ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and autopsy in a case of conjoined ischiopagus twins.A screening second-trimester ultrasound diagnosed ischiopagus twins at 20 gestational weeks in a 31-year-old woman ...
