STUDY ON METHODS OF DETERMINING ORGAN DISPLACEMENT IN ANIMAL SUBJECTS USING MICRONEX X-RAY

Abstract

Methods were studied for making organs permanently opaque to x-rays by making observations of organ displacement in normal unanesthetized animals during periods of deceleration, using a Micronex X-ray machine. It was found that the walls of organs can be made permanently opaque to x-rays by injecting Thorotrast or a finely divided BaS04 suspension (Micropaque) into the walls hypodermically. The general health and physiological state of the animal after the injection remained unchanged.
