对一只王企鹅进行尸检成像（Ai）。人工智能计算机断层扫描（CT）显示气囊膜增厚，颅内气囊内多发结节，疑似脓肿，肺浸润和气囊收缩。根据这些结果，呼吸系统疾病被认为是一个问题。在企鹅中高度观察到的弓形虫病被认为是主要的鉴别诊断。培养样品显示曲霉属的特征性分生孢子头，其DNA与A.烟熏。死亡原因确定为曲霉病引起的呼吸衰竭。Ai-CT结果促进了解剖工作流程，并提醒病理学家在尸检期间注意潜在危害。AI有助于确定死亡原因和准备和安全的病理解剖。
Autopsy imaging (Ai) was performed for a King Penguin. Ai-computed tomography (CT) revealed air sac membrane thickening, multiple nodules in the cranial air sac, suspected abscess, lung infiltration, and air sac contraction. Based on these findings, respiratory disorder was concerned. Aspergillosis, which is the highly observed in penguins, was considered as the primary differential diagnosis. The cultured sample showed characteristic conidial head of Aspergillus spp., the DNA of which was 100% identical to that of A. fumigatus. The cause of death was determined to respiratory failure due to aspergillosis. Ai-CT findings facilitated the dissection workflow and alerted the pathologist to potential hazards during the autopsy. Ai is useful to determine the cause of death and for readiness and safe pathological dissection.
