Improved visualization of radiographic cadaver sections using xerotomography.

A new technique using xerotomography for axial images obtained from slices of abdominal cadavers is described. Radiographs were also made in sagittal planes for a complete study of visceral relationships. Xerotomography allows a wider range of visualization in the same plane of anatomical structures, from retroperitoneal fascial planes and vessels to abdominal viscera.
