Postmortem radiography of the subarachnoid cisterns.
A technique has been developed for stereotactic postmortem cisternography using water-soluble contrast medium and plastic material with enhanced attenuation by the addition of red lead. The latter technique can be used for the preparation of plastic casts of the cisterns, accessible for analysis by radiologic means as well as by direct inspection.
