THE FATE OF RADIOPAQUE MEDIA INJECTED INTO THE CANCELLOUS BONE OF THE EXTREMITIES

Abstract

Radiopaque solutions and suspensions introduced into cancellous bone in the extremities of the cadaver are rapidly removed into the venous system through regional superficial or deep veins. The experiments described in this communication confirm the simplicity of methods of introduction of fluids into cancellous bone and justify further observations on their clinical application for the technique of phiebography.
