Head & Brain
Horizontal Atlas

3 series of 1cm thick anatomical slices through the head.
- Selected series of MR scans of these heads before sectioning are shown
in the Atlas (pp. 12, 46, 74).
- Slicing was performed in the horizontal, sagittal, and oblique
coronal plane.
- From the 1-cm slices, radiographs were made before and after injections
of contrast media into cut ends of
larger blood vessels.
- The brain slices were removed from the skull and mounted according to
their in vivo position to reconstruct
and draw the surface
of the brain (see the diagrams proceeding each of the three Atlases of the
Brain in the Head).
- The brain slices were then cut into 100 µm thick sections.
