Abstract:
We have developed a new and simplified injection technique based on a mixture of latex and lead oxide. This injection technique is unique in its possession of both color and radio-opacity. We have developed and refined this methodology in rats, and have demonstrated it to possess superior qualities of injectability. Depiction of small vessels is highly detailed both radiographically and grossly.
