A method is described for correlative radiological and pathological studies of the lung post mortem, including radiography after air inflation, fixation with formalin-polyethylene glycol-alcohol solution, air drying and systematic histological sampling of lung tissue. For morphometric studies the total lung capacity during life is determined from radiograms and compared with the volume of the excised lung after fixation. The method is simple, relatively inexpensive, and with some experience gives good results both in radiography and histology. With this method the test lungs seemed to assume during fixation a fairly constant volume, a little higher than functional residual capacity.
描述了一种用于肺死后放射学与病理学相关性研究的方法，包括空气充气后的放射摄影、用福尔马林-聚乙二醇-酒精溶液固定、空气干燥以及肺组织的系统组织学采样。对于形态计量学研究，根据X线片确定生前的肺总量，并与固定后切除肺的体积进行比较。该方法简单、成本相对较低，且有一定经验后在放射摄影和组织学方面都能取得良好结果。使用这种方法，测试肺在固定过程中似乎呈现出相当恒定的体积，略高于功能残气量。
