A New Positioning Technique for Comparing Sectional Anatomy of the Shoulder with Sectional Diagnostic Modalities: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) And Ultrasound (US).

SUMMARY A new positioning technique is presented, based on MR- and CT imaging with surface markers applied to the skin of the specimen. With this technique, the required anatomic section for cryosectioning can be defined accurately Plastinated slices, of 2 mm thickness, with the correlating MR-, CT-, and US images of double-oblique coronal imaging of the shoulder are shown. The method is equally applicable to all parts of the body and makes comparison of structures in correlative anatomic studies easier and more accurate.
