Abstract
A simple method for the postmortem roentgenographic demonstration of the arterial supply of the human heart is described. This technique eliminates the disadvantages of previously utilized methods in that it is technically simple, is less time consuming, and does not alter or destroy the specimen for subsequent gross or microscopic examination. The roentgenograms taken of the heart after injection of the iodized oil into the coronary arteries have vividly demonstrated arteriosclerotic plaques, occluded vessels, and the pathways of collateral circulation. These advantages make this method readily adaptable for routine postmortem examination of the coronary circulation.
