title: Computed tomography of anatomic specimens.
abstract: To obtain high quality computed tomographic (CT) images of specimens, the specimens must be submerged in water and immobilized. We describe a simple, effective technique for imaging brain specimens in various CT scanners. Anatomic sections that correspond exactly to the plane of the CT image may be obtained
