Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virtual autopsy using 7 Tesla MRI compared to traditional autopsy for identifying structural abnormalities in second-trimester fetuses (13-19 weeks gestation).
  • A total of 30 fetuses were analyzed, and the results showed that virtual autopsy had a high sensitivity (92.04%) and specificity (97.87%) for detecting anatomical issues, achieving an overall diagnostic accuracy of 95.68%.
  • The findings indicated that virtual autopsy performs particularly well in examining the nervous system compared to classical autopsy when evaluating small fetuses.

Placental development is a complex process which sets the stage for normal fetal development. Any variation/disruption occurring during the initial stages of placental formation leads to placental malfunction causing increased maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. The succenturiate lobe is a structural variation of the placenta that usually appears as a distinct lobe from the main placental mass.

This research aims to describe a progressive pattern of ultrasound placental remodeling in patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. This was a longitudinal, cohort study which enrolled 23 pregnant women with a history of former mild SARS-CoV-2 infection during the current pregnancy. Four obstetricians analyzed placental ultrasound images from different gestational ages following COVID infection and identified the presence and degree of remodeling.
