Isolated organ perfusion for physiologic studies

The American Journal of Digestive Diseases volume 16, pages 81–87 (1971)Cite this article

Summary

Advance in technology has permitted the development of isolated perfused organ systems which have much to offer as research technic. These are increasingly contributing to medical research. The advantages of such a preparation lie not only in the facility with which its physiologic parameters may be controlled, but also in the greater precision afforded in the interpretation of results.
