Technical Note: Fiducial markers for correlation of whole-specimen histopathology with MR imaging at 7 tesla

There is increasing interest in the registration of 3-D histopathology with 3-D in vivo imaging, for example, to validate tumor boundary delineation for targeted radiation cancer therapy. However, accurate correlation is compromised by tissue distortion induced by histopathological processing. Reference landmarks that are visible in both data sets are required. In this study, two iridescent acrylic paints, "Bronze" (containing iron oxide coated …
