“…The humerus and the femur are the two long bones that are frequently preferred in morphometric studies [23]. CT and 3D modelling are currently used in the diagnosis, and treatment of many diseases [13,15,20]. In addition, bone morphometric measurements are made with the help of the digital calliper [23].…”

“…Three-dimensional (3D) formation of the transversal and longitudinal sections obtained from CT and other medical imaging methods is referred as reconstruction [2,15,32]. Thanks to this method, organisation and processing of the 3D information obtained by the reconstructions of the first cross-sectional images and enabling them to be presented in various shapes have become an acceptable method in medical sciences, especially in anatomy, surgical and clinical treatment [14,20,31,38].…”

“…This software is a medical imaging and control system developed by Materialise (Mimics, Materialise Inc., Leuven, Belgium) for the 3D modelling of anatomical structures. One of the most important features that distinguishes MIMICS from other 3D modelling software is that it is a segmentation programme using Hounsfield values [3,15,18,24,31,33].…”

Background: Guinea pig is a species belonging to the Caviidae family of the Rodentia order and is frequently used in experimental studies. Biomedical imaging methods are used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases in medicine. Among these methods, computed tomography (CT) is one of the most important imaging methods. In this study, it was aimed to perform the three-dimensional (3D) modelling of the CT images, obtained from the humerus and femur in the guinea pigs, via the MIMICS programme, and to make some biometric measurements regarding the bones over these models. Materials and methods: In the present study, 12 male adult guinea pigs were used. The soft tissue on the humerus and femur bones of the guinea pigs was removed. After this procedure, CT images at a 0.5 mm-thickness were obtained from the animals. The images were recorded in DICOM format. Then, the reconstruction process was performed from the images by using the 3D modelling programme MIMICS ® 13.1. On the 3D model of the humerus and femur (right-left), volumes, surface areas and lengths as well as other biometric parameters were measured separately, and the values were recorded. In addition, measurements of the bones were made with the help of a digital calliper. Results: Among the parameters obtained from 3D models, a statistical difference was observed between the right and left cortical thicknesses of the femur from the measurements of calliper and the right and left humerus volumes (p < 0.05); whereas, no statistical difference was found in other parameters of both measurements (p > 0.05). Conclusions: It can be stated that CT and 3D modelling can be used for the measurement of some parameters in the long bones of the guinea pigs.

“…In addition to making orthoses, they are very often used to manufacture biomodels that are used for educational purposes (Wilhite and Wölfel, 2019), training before surgery and surgical planning. These applications have a great impact on the length of surgery and its risk (Freitas, 2011; Pijanka et al , 2019). On this basis, it can be concluded that AM techniques have great potential for veterinary applications.…”

“…AM techniques are used to create physical prototypes as well as end-use parts. The application of 3D printing or AM in the field of veterinary medicine is increasing, especially to produce anatomical models that are used in education and preoperative planning (Blake et al , 2019; Freitas, 2011; Pijanka et al , 2019). There are also some examples of the use of AM for veterinary orthopedic surgery (Harrysson et al , 2015).…”

Purpose Chicken orthoses that cover the ankle joint area are not commercially available. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to fabricate a customised temporary Ankle–Foot Orthosis (AFO) for a chicken with a twisted ankle using computer-aided design (CAD) and three-dimensional (3D) printing. The secondary objective of the paper is to present the specific application of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in veterinary medicine. Design/methodology/approach The design process was based on multiple sketches, photos and measurements that were provided by the owner of the animal. The 3D model of the orthosis was made with Autodesk Fusion 360, while the prototype was fabricated using fused deposition modelling (FDM). Evaluation of the AFO was performed using the finite element method. Findings The work resulted in a functional 3D printed AFO for chicken. It was found that the orthosis made with AM provides satisfactory stiffen and a good fit. It was concluded that AM is suitable for custom bird AFO fabrication and, in some respects, is superior to traditional manufacturing methods. It was also concluded that the presented procedure can be applied in other veterinary cases and to other animal species and other parts of their body. AM provides veterinary with a powerful tool for the production of well-fitted and durable orthoses for animals. Research limitations/implications The study does not include the chicken's opinion on the comfort or fit of the manufactured AFO due to communication issues. Evaluation of the final prototype was done by the researchers and the animal owner. Originality/value No evidence was found in the literature on the use of AM for chicken orthosis, so this study is the first to describe such an application of AM. In addition, the study demonstrates the value of AM in veterinary medicine, especially in the production of devices such as orthoses.

BackgroundWith the development of technology, 2D images have left their place for 3D models. The 3D modelling technique is widely used in plastic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery, traumatology, dentistry and medical education. The skull is important in terms of containing the starting parts of systems with vital functions.ObjectiveThe aim of the study is to reveal the difference between male and female and other species by 3D (three‐dimensional) modelling and craniometric measurements of Romanov heads.MethodsIn our study, skulls of Romanov sheep (10 females and 10 males) older than 1‐year‐old were used. The heads of Romanov sheep were scanned with computed tomography and modelled in 3D.Results and ConclusionsIn the study, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between male and female sheep in terms of the largest nose length, facial width, molar row length, viscerocranium length, and foramen magnum height parameters (p < 0.05). It was determined that the greatest width of the foramen magnum measurement parameter and the skull index showed statistically significant differences between the genders at the p < 0.01 level. No statistically significant difference was found in other measurements (p > 0.05). The data obtained as a result of the study will help in the racial discrimination and classification of bones obtained from zoo archaeological excavations.
