This article discusses the potential of "black bone" (BB) MRI imaging sequences as an alternative to conventional radiography for examining the skeleton in fetuses during post-mortem MRI examinations. The study involved 60 fetuses, and skeletal abnormalities were found in 31.6% of cases. The overall sensitivity and specificity of BB MRI for skeletal pathology were 89.4% and 97.5% respectively. The main limitation of fetal BB MRI sequences was the diagnosis of craniosynostosis. The authors conclude that BB MRI imaging sequences offer a radiation-free method for imaging the fetal skeleton and could be a potential alternative to radiography for analyzing bone anomalies.
