Abstract

In literature reviews on porcupines, no research has been found on the examination of the trachea’s computerized tomography. In this study, it was aimed to examine the computerized tomography for the first time in porcupines and to provide significant contributions in this field. A total of 10 adult porcupines were used in the study. The multidetector computerized tomography views and the measurements were taken from the 4 specified points of the pars cervicalis and pars thoracalis of the trachea. A meaningful statistical distinction between the males and females was not found. In all the materials, the vertical diameter was measured higher than the transversal diameter. Also in all of the subjects; the increase in the diameters of the trachea from the cranial towards the caudal was found to be remarkable. In the statistical investigation; in the measurements of the vertical (V) and transversal (T) diameters and in the measurements of the lumen crosssectional area (CSA), the differences between the cervical and thoracal measurement values were found to be significant. It was thought that this study will provide reference datas for similar studies.

Özet

Oklu kirpiler üzerinde yapılan literatür taramalarında trachea’nın bilgisayarlı tomografi metodu ile incelendiği bir araştırmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bu çalışmada; oklu kirpilerde trachea’nın bilgisayarlı tomografi ile ilk kez incelenmesi ve alanına önemli katkılar sağlaması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada 10 erişkin oklu kirpi kullanılmıştır. Multidedektör bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri ve ölçümleri trachea ’nın pars cervicalis’i ve pars thoracalis’inden belirlenen 4 noktadan alınmıştır. Erkek ve dişiler arasında anlamlı bir istatistiksel ayrım tespit edilmemiştir. Bütün materyallerde vertical çap, transversal çaptan daha yüksek olarak ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca deneklerin tamamında; trachea’nın çaplarının cranial’den caudale gidildikçe artması dikkat çekici bulunmuştur. İstatistiksel incelemede; vertical (V) ve transversal (T) çaplar ile lümen kesit alanı (crossection area) (CSA) ölçümlerinde, cervical ve thoracal değerler arasındaki farklar anlamlı bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmanın benzer araştırmalara referans veriler sunacağına kanaat getirilmiştir.
