Özet
Aim: The aim of this study was to create three-dimensional (3D) models of\reach cervical vertebra with computed tomography (CT) images; to determine\rthe morphometric parameters of each cervical vertebra with manual and\rdigital measurement methods; to compare the accuracy between the two methods.\rMaterials and Methods: The last five cervical vertebrae of four male thoroughbred\rhorses were used for morphometric analyses. All vertebrae were\rscanned with 256-multidetector CT device. 3D reconstructed models were acquired\rwith 3D slicer software. Twenty-three morphometric parameters were\rcalculated on 3D models and manually by using a digital caliper.\rResults: Measurement methods*Cervical vertebra interaction term was found\rstatistically significant for height of vertebra, external and internal width of\rthe cranial articular process, width of the vertebral fossa, height of transverse\rforamen, height of cranial and caudal vertebral notch, and width of the pedicle\r(p<0.001). The length of the vertebral body was decreasing from third to seventh\rcervical vertebra in both measurement methods but was not different\rbetween measurement methods*cervical vertebra interaction term (p=0.685).\rThis study provided detailed comprehensive morphometric data to compare\rcervical vertebrae among each other. The digital information gathered with 3D\rapproaches will give useful information for analysing anatomical variations.\rConclusion: These morphometric data cannot only contribute to anatomic investigations\rbut also provide database for surgical and orthopaedic researches\ror clinical interventions on this region of equine species.
