Abstract

This study was conducted to make the three-dimensional modelling of the skull in Van cats by using computedtomographic images and to determine the morphometric features between sexes. The skulls of 16 adult Van cats were used in the study.The skulls of the anesthetized animals were scanned by using a Computed Tomography (CT) device and their images were obtained.These images were converted to a three-dimensional structure using MIMICS 20.1 software and their morphometric measurementswere calculated. It was determined in the study that total length of the skull (TLS), facial length (FCL), upper neurocranium length(UNCL), greatest length of the nasal (GLN), maximum zygomatic width (MZW), condylobasal length (CBL), basal length (BL),median palatal length (MPL), palatal length (PL), least palatal breadth (LPB), length of the cheek tooth row (LCR), greatest innerheight of the orbit (GIHO), skull height (SH), and volumetric measurement values were statistically significantly higher in the malecats; whereas, breadth dorsal to the external auditory meatus (BEAM) and neurocranium length (NL) measurement values werestatistically significantly higher in the female cats (P

Özet

Bu çalışma, Van kedilerinde kafatasının bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri kullanılarak üç boyutlu modellemesini yapmak ve cinsiyetler arasındaki morfometrik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Çalışmada 16 adet erişkin Van kedisi kafatası kullanıldı. Anestezi altındaki hayvanların kafatasları Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) cihazı ile taranarak görüntüleri elde edildi. Bu görüntüler MIMICS 20.1 programı aracılığıyla üç boyutlu yapıya dönüştürüldü ve morfometrik ölçümleri hesaplandı. Çalışmada kafatasının total uzunluğu (TLS), facial uzunluk (FCL), üst neurocranium uzunluğu (UNCL), en büyük nasal uzunluk (GLN), maksimum zygomatic genişlik (MZW), condylobasal uzunluk (CBL), basal uzunluk (BL), median palatal uzunluk (MPL), palatal uzunluk (PL), en küçük palatal genişlik (LPB), yanak diş sırasının uzunluğu (LCR), orbita’nın en büyük iç yüksekliği (GIHO), kafatası yüksekliği (SH) ve volüm ölçüm değerlerinin erkek kedilerde; meatus acusticus externus’un dorsal genişliği (BEAM) ve neurocranium uzunluğu (NL) ölçüm değerlerinin ise dişi kedilerde istatistik olarak önemli düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (P
