This module of vet-Anatomy presents an atlas of the anatomy of the head of the dog on a CT. Images are available in 3 different planes (transverse, sagittal and dorsal), with two kind of contrast (bone and soft tissues). Additional 3D images at the end of the module are available with 3d bones reconstructions of the skull and skin rendering to present the general anatomy of the dog.

740 anatomical terms have been labeled, organized in different sections :

  • General Anatomy of the skull
  • Regions of the head
  • Bones (Cranium, Occipital bone, Parietal bone, Frontal bone, Presphenoid bone, Basisphenoid bone, Temporal bone, Ethmoid; Ethmoidal bone, Vomer, Incisive bone, Nasal bone, Maxilla, Zygomatic bone, Palatine bone, Lacrimal bone, Pterygoid bone, Mandible, Hyoid apparatusj, Vertebral column)
  • Suture of the head
  • Joints
  • Muscles
  • Fascia
  • Teeth
  • Numbering
  • Oral cavity
  • Pharynx
  • Oesophagus
  • Nose
  • Paranasal sinuses
  • Larynx
  • Central nervous system
  • Eye
  • Ear
  • Arteries
  • Veins
  • Lymph nodes

 

Computed tomography has been performed on a healthy 5 years old Labrador Retriever by Dr. Susanne AEB Boroffka, dipl. ECVDI, PhD (Utrecht, Netherland). Images displaying, 3D reformat and anatomical labeling have been done by Dr. Antoine Micheau, Radiologist (Montpellier, France) and Dr. Denis Hoa, Radiologist (Montpellier, France).

Terms are labeled using the Latin terms defined in the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (fifth edition - 2012 by ICVGAN). They have been translated into english and french by Antoine Micheau - MD, Imaios.
