本报告描述了计算机断层扫描 (CT) 在非家养物种中的应用。对一只红袋鼠（Macropus mitts）进行尸检 CT，诊断为口腔骨髓炎。 CT检查显示右下颌骨骨性重塑，右颞骨骨内病变，右下颌骨周围肌肉坏死，右第一上磨牙缺失。还观察到心脏和肝内气体以及由于死后气体积聚而导致的肠扩张。除心脏和肝内气体外，所有通过 CT 发现的病变也通过常规尸检发现。虚拟解剖可能是一种有用的非侵入性死因鉴定程序，并可作为动物尸检的指南。
This report describes the use of computed tomography (CT) in a nondomestic species. Postmortem CT was performed on a red kangaroo (Macropus mitts) and a diagnosis of oral osteomyelitis was made. CT examination revealed bony remodeling of the right mandible, an intraosseous lesion of the right temporal bone, muscle necrosis around the right mandible, and the absence of the right, first, upper molar tooth. Cardiac and intrahepatic gas and a distended intestine due to postmortem gas accumulation were also seen. All the lesions identified with CT were also identified by conventional necropsy, except the cardiac and intrahepatic gases. Virtopsy may be a useful procedure for the noninvasive identification of cause of death and as a guide for necropsy in animals.
