Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to define the anatomy of the cranioencephalic structures in horses using computed tomography (CT). Transverse images of two isolated equine cadaver heads were obtained using a Toshiba 600 HQ (third-generation equipment TCT). CT images were compared to corresponding frozen cross-sections of the cadaver head. Relevant anatomical structures were identified and labelled at each level. The resulting images provided excellent anatomic detail of the structures of the central nervous system and associated formations. Annotated CT images from this study are intended as a reference for clinical CT imaging studies of the equine head.
