I am conducting research on the anatomy of the blood vessels by angiography. One of the literature mentions that they use latex injection. I use latex but the anatomy results are not good. What type of latex usually use for angiography in the animal?
Thank you
Hi Nurul, you may use synthetic(water soluble), mixed with black indian ink. You mau also mix barium sulfatun (also water soluble) and by this mixture you can take Xray images an then dissect specimens to corrolate the images with anatomy.
The proportions may diffair because of the qualitty compounds, but is essential to wash the vascular system with just water, in order to remove the remaining blood of the arteries or veins.
These are two examples of 6 months foetus arterial injection with the mentioned technique.
I hope this may be usefull to your research.
Best regards
