ABSTRACT

Masses for arterial injection were evaluated in 360 whole cadavers that had been injected with preservation fluid. A mass consisting of dextrin, latex, and lead tetroxide produced the best results. This mass provided high radiopacity at large distances from the injection site and ideal firmness for dissection. The easy application of the mass makes it suitable for research purposes as well as for teaching dissections.
