Fig. 4

Paired postmortem ultrasound and T2-weighted MRI imaging at 1.5 T are shown in this 20-week gestation foetus, 4 days after death (same case as Fig. 3). The inclusion of additional sonographic views via the left sphenoid fontanelle (a) provides clear images of the midbrain and occipital lobes (white arrows), as the comparison with similar view on MRI (b) demonstrates. The left trans-mastoid view of the brain at ultrasound (c) shows clearly the cerebellum (asterisk) and upper cervical spinal canal (dotted white arrow), comparable in detail as the matched T2-weighted postmortem MRI (d)
