Table I shows some example measurement made from corrosion casts from rat heart and hamster lung under several different conditions. .... While the primary application of vascular corrosion casting has been and likely will remain in the elucidation of the 3-dimensional distribution of vessels in tissue and organs, high quality casts also yield valuable quantitative information about that vasculature. ... the corrosion casting method [can] be used to describe or measure the internal volume of any hollow or porous structure or material as long as methods are available to remove the surrounding material and leave the cast intact.  3, record 1, English, - corrosion%20cast
