三只红海龟的头部被分离并立即成像，以尽量减少死后的变化，然后冷冻并切片。对于计算机断层扫描（CT）成像，将头部置于腹侧卧位。CT扫描范围为嗅囊区至颞下颌关节区。CT成像后，对头部进行切片，并将大体切片与CT图像进行比较，以帮助准确识别解剖结构。在两组照片（CT图像和解剖横截面）中识别并标记不同的临床相关解剖结构。CT图像提供了头部骨和软组织之间的良好区分。本文提出的信息应作为一个初步的参考，以评估CT图像的头的红海龟，并协助解释这一地区的病变。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The heads of three loggerhead sea turtles were disarticulated and imaged immediately to minimize postmortem changes and then frozen and sectioned. For computed tomography (CT) imaging, the heads were positioned in ventral recumbency. Transverse CT images with soft-tissue window were obtained from the olfactory sac region to the temporomandibular joint region. After CT imaging, the heads were sectioned and the gross sections were compared to CT images, to assist in the accurate identification of the anatomic structures. Different clinically relevant anatomic structures were identified and labelled in two series of photographs (CT images and anatomic cross-sections). CT images provided good differentiation between the bones and the soft tissues of the head. The information presented in this paper should serve as an initial reference to evaluate CT images of the head of the loggerhead sea turtle and to assist in the interpretation of lesions of this region.
