Abstract
A simple technique is proposed to correlate the roentgenologic and anatomic data in the infant lung.It consists of serial roentgenograms of lung samples taken in air and under water, after air inflation under a controlled pressure. The lung samples are then fixed with formalin and are maintained air inflated during the fixation period.Comparison of histologic sections at low magnification with roentgenologic images gives a better understanding of roentgenograms and can be used either for teaching or research purposes. A few examples of normal and pathologic cases are presented.
