We developed a technology to integrate postmortem,
high-resolution MRI into the planning and execution of
the pathological analysis through the precise
localization of the target and cutting coordinates.
Compared to standard pathological sectioning, the use of
an individually rendered, 3D-printed cutting box for
formalin-fixed whole-brains can improve the speed,
quality, and accuracy of pathological localization of
small findings identi-fied on MRI and should be
applicable in a wide spectrum of neurological disorders.
