摘要: Using magnetic resonance imaging the effects of temperature, formalin fixation, and decalcification on size morphology atherosclerotic arteries were evaluated. Ten ex vivo carotid scanned fresh at body room temperature formalin-fixed decalcified temperature. Different spin-echo pulse sequences used absolute T2 values calculated. During processing for histopathology, contrast between arterial layers increased. From to there significant increases in (4%-7%), media (60--> 68 msec), fibrous plaque component (95--> 110 msec). Formalin fixation caused (2%-3%) (68--> 74 Decalcification shrinkage (2%-5%) decrease (74--> 53 msec) (118--> 76 Thus preparation have profound contrast, size, arteries. Ex experiments should be performed specimens J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 1999;10:876-885.
