Plastination is a process whereby the tissue water and part of the tissue fat of anatomical specimens is replaced with a curable polymer. Several variations of this technique are available, depending on both the type of specimen and polymer being used. In this study, the efficiency of BIODUR PEM 11-prepared cross sections as a teaching aid for radiographic anatomy is investigated. A human cadaveric head was scanned on a magnetic resonance (MR) imager, recording images in a coronal plane of approximately 6 mm in thickness. Corresponding slices were then taken of this head and plastinated by the BIODUR PEM 11 method. In general, a good correlation existed between the plastinated sections and the MR scans. The plastinated slices displayed superior differentiation between musculature compared to the scans. In conclusion, the plastinated sections, used in conjunction with the MR scans, are a valuable tool in learning radiographic anatomy. Additionally, BIODUR PEM 11 is a viable alternative to plastination by other methods.
塑化是一种将解剖标本中的组织水分和部分组织脂肪用可固化聚合物替代的过程。根据所使用的标本类型和聚合物，该技术有多种变体。在本研究中，研究了用BIODUR PEM 11制备的横断面作为放射解剖学教学辅助工具的效率。在磁共振（MR）成像仪上对一个人类尸体头部进行扫描，在冠状面记录厚度约为6毫米的图像。然后从这个头部切取相应切片，并采用BIODUR PEM 11方法进行塑化。总体而言，塑化切片与MR扫描之间存在良好的相关性。与扫描相比，塑化切片在肌肉组织之间显示出更好的区分度。总之，与MR扫描结合使用的塑化切片是学习放射解剖学的宝贵工具。此外，BIODUR PEM 11是其他塑化方法的可行替代方案。
