A radiological-anatomical comparison between formalin-preserved organs and "plastinated" ones.
By using conventional radiology and computerized tomography, plastinated organs as will as those preserved in formalin were examined and compared as regards morphological, structural and densitometri differences. Two examiners separately compared and evaluate the images obtained using the two preservation. Plastinated organs presented better preservation of the morphology and structure of the organs than did those preserved in formalin.
