Micro-ct
What are the uses for micro-CT in clinical imaging?
Micro-CT is a novel imaging tool that uses similar technology to the usual medical CT scanners, but can image small objects at a very high resolution. In this website our focus is on post-mortem imaging in children however apart from this use there are many other potentials for micro-CT in (human) clinical practice. The following articles provide some flavour for what can be done.

How is a Micro-CT performed?
A paper in Nature Protocols details the steps required for fetal post-mortem micro-CT imaging. When this is formally published, a link will be provided.
How accurate is post-mortem micro-CT (PMuCT)?
There have been only a few papers that have looked at human fetal post-mortem micro-CT diagnostic accuracy, and a systematic review article that has looked at these articles and comparison with high field (>7T) MRI for post-mortem fetal imaging. These are provided below for interest.
Case studies in post-mortem micro-CT
The following case reports and series may be of interest. As more gets published this will be updated.
