Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: Practical Review for the Assessment of Hepatic and Renal Lesions.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There have been very few small studies or case reports in the literature considering noninvasive postmortem imaging as supplement to autopsy, especially in fetuses with skeletal dysplasias. Apert syndrome accounts for 4.5% of all patients with craniosynostotic syndromes. It is classically characterized by th...
