Postmortem magnetic resonance imaging: Reproducing typical autopsy heart measurements

Highlights • Several cardiac PMMR measurements differ from corresponding autopsy measurements. • There is a correlation between most of the PMMR measurements and autopsy measurements. • Myocardial walls are thicker when measured in situ on cardiac PMMR than at autopsy. • Investigators should be awar...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Several cardiac PMMR measurements differ from corresponding autopsy measurements. • There is a correlation between most of the PMMR measurements and autopsy measurements. • Myocardial walls are thicker when measured in situ on cardiac PMMR than at autopsy. • Investigators should be aware of it, to avoid false diagnoses of cardiac pathology.
