Key Points

PTA staining improves tissue contrast between fascicles and epineurium in CT images, enhancing clarity.
The protocol emphasizes detailed steps for preparation and application of phosphotungstic acid in human nerves.
The enhanced imaging may aid in understanding nerve structure and related medical conditions.
Utilizing CT imaging with PTA staining could improve diagnostic accuracy for nerve assessment.

Implication

This protocol details PTA staining to enhance tissue contrast in CT imaging of vagus nerves, showcasing key findings.

Abstract

This protocol details the preparation and staining of human cadaveric vagus nerves with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) to provide tissue contrast between the fascicles and surrounding epineurium in computed tomography (CT) imaging.
