Contact microradiography of large undecalcified bone specimens: a technique

Description

In a long-term toxicological study of the effects of 226Ra and 90Sr, microradiographic evaluation of bone tissues is useful. A microradiographic unit was custom-made to satisfy this purpose. However, the unit could not accommodate larger specimens such as the vertebrae in which neoplasia was seen due to the effect of the radionuclides. Due to this limitation, another method to produce a large specimen microradiogram was devised. A contact microradiographic technique for large undecalcified bone specimen is described
