Three‐dimensional modelling of computed tomography images of limb bones in gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa)

Abstract

Gazella subgutturosa is a strain of Gazella which belongs to the Antilopinae subfamily of the family Bovidae (Albayrak, Pamukoğlu, & Kaya, 2007). Due to global impacts such as an increase in population across the globe, climate change, expansion of arable lands, poaching, use of excessive chemicals and chemical products, and soil erosion, the number of Gazella spp. is gradually decreasing. Similarly, its numbers have decreased and verged on extinction in Turkey (Gürler, Bozkaya,

Morphometric analysis and three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction of the long bones of femoral and crural regions in Van cats

“…In this manner, the efficacy of the diagnosis and treatment of various pathological conditions afflicting the anatomical area of interest can also be evaluated [21,26,46]. A literature survey has shown that, while the volumetric and surface area measurements of the long bones of pelvic limbs belonging to humans [21], brown bears [13], chinchillas [33], guinea pigs [11], and gazelles [12] have been obtained using CT and 3D imaging software, no information regarding the long bones of pelvic limbs of cats could be found in literature in that regard. The mean volumetric values of the femur were 8.57±1.33 cm 3 in males and 7.00±0.49 cm 3 in females;…”

“…Various studies have been performed to determine the anatomical and osteometrical properties of the main long bones of the pelvic limbs (femur, tibia, fibula) of different animal species, like mole-rats (Spalax leucodon Nordmann) [34], African giant rats (Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse) [27], grasscutter rodents (Thryonomys swinderianus, Temminck-1827) [29], guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) [37], feral pigs (Sus scrofa) [19], martens (Martes fonia) [3], badgers (Meles meles) [32], squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) [31], hedgehogs hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus L.) [35], porcupines (Hystrix Cristata) [49], chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera) [10], lumholtz tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzii) [40], Anatolian bobcats (Lynx lynx) [30], New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) [1,16,36], marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) [9], brown bears (Ursus arctos) [13], deers (Hippocamelus bisulcus) [41], sheeps (Ovis aries) [2], gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa) [12], foxes (Vulpes vulpes and Alopex lagopus) [24], dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) [28,43], and domestic cats (Felis catus and Felis domestica) [5,16]. No study was found when the existing literature was searched for long bones of the pelvic limbs of Van cats, however.…”

“…and have an important role in the detailed examination of structures and in monitoring the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients. (Demircioglu & Gezer Ince, 2020; Morone et al, 2019; Parthasarathy, 2014). For this purpose, craniometric studies are carried out with images obtained by various imaging methods.…”

Morphometric analysis of the skull of Hamdani sheep via Three‐Dimensional modelling

“…Models in medical sector can be obtained by using cross‐sectional imaging methods (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography etc.) and have an important role in the detailed examination of the structures and in monitoring the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the diseases (Demircioglu & Gezer Ince, 2020; Morone et al, 2019; Parthasarathy, 2014).…”
