Abstract

With the advent of cross sectional image of CT, ultrasound and magnetic resonance, the need for knowlege ofcross sectional anatomy is stronger than ever. To meet this need, preparation of cross sectinal anatomy specimenusing cadaver is indispensible, not only because it is the real cut surface anatomy but also because overtlimitations of radiographic image in both contrast and spatial resolution. Authors prepared corss sectional antomyspecimen using a male cadaver, comparising photographs and slides of the 60 cross cut slices form the had to thepelvis. After photography, each slices was embedded using transparent resin allowing permanent preservation ofspcimen without altering its original architecture. Author's unique method of preparation is presented and 4 representative spcimens are illustrated comparing cadaver's CT image, cross cut surface photography, and photography of resin embedded slice of the same cut surface.
