NOVEL TECHNIQUE OF SHEET PLASTINATION

Abstract

In the rapid imaging technique used for the medical examination and diagnosis such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and ultrasonography require an in depth study of sectional anatomy. Sheet plastination of specimens provides material for the study of sectional anatomical structures (von Hagens et al., 1987). Western world uses P 35 or P 40 with the accelerator and hardner for sheet plastination as described by Weber et al. (2007). The purpose of the present study was to find an easier and more cost effective method for sheet plastination.
