Radiopaque silicone rubber and xeroradiography for the high-resolution visualization of the cerebral vasculature

Radiopaque silicone rubber provides uniquely high degree of vascular definition when combined with xeroradiography for visualization of the cerebral circulation. The method of tissue preparation is described and illustrated by xeroradiograms of coronal sections of brains from animals subjected to occlusion of the lenticulostriate artery.
