From: Reconstruction of fetal and infant anatomy using rapid prototyping of post-mortem MR images
Rapid prototyping of brain from high-field (9.4-T) MR images of a 16-week fetus. a External appearance of the brain. Note the smooth brain without sulci and gyri. b The brain cut open in the axial plane. G germinal matrix, C cerebrospinal fluid inside the lateral ventricles. Black arrows show the choroid plexus and bleeding into choroid plexus and ventricular cavity. c Corresponding 9.4-T MR images in the axial plane. The rapid prototyping model has been scaled to twice the original size. Conventional autopsy was difficult in this case due to autolysis of the brain and dimensions
