Table 1. Overview of case scenarios processed in the feasibility study.

No. Morphological diagnosis Scanning method Remarks
1 Transposition of the great arteries, VSD; unoperated CT Distorted specimen; semilunar valvar anatomy recognizable; did not fit in MRI
2 VSD, right ventricle outflow tract obstruction; operation: right ventricle outflow tract patch (?VSD closure) MRI/CT Effects of autopsy: open chambers, tissue flaps
3 Interrupted aortic arch, VSD; operation: transverse arch conduit MRI/CT Accurate representation of the segmental anatomy
4 Multiplex VSD; unoperated MRI/CT Accurate representation of the external segmental anatomy; some loss of intracavital detail
5 Hypoplastic left heart syndrome; aortic atresia, mitral atresia; unoperated MRI/CT Accurate representation of the segmental anatomy; loss of intracavital detail
6 Normal cardiac morphology; operated with aortic valve replacement MRI Distorted specimen; metallic suturing ring of the valve prosthesis results in extra noise

MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; CT, computed tomography; VSD, ventricular septal defect.
