High resolution radiography of cadaveric kidneys: unraveling the mystery of Randall's plaque formation
ML Stoller, RK Low, GS Shami, VD McCormick… - The Journal of …, 1996 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: We used high resolution radiography to identify and characterize Randall's
plaques in cadaveric kidneys. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 50 consecutive sets of
cadaveric kidneys was fixed, bivalved and imaged with micro-focal spot magnification
radiography. Papillary calcifications were identified, localized and processed for light
microscopy. Special immunohistochemical stains were implemented to aid localization of
ectopic calcifications. Patient medical records and autopsy results were retrospectively …
