Micro-computed tomography of the head and dentition in cadavers of clinically normal rabbits.

Objective: To describe the anatomic features of dentition and surrounding structures of the head in rabbits assessed by use of a newly developed micro-computed tomography (CT) device.

Sample: Cadavers of 7 clinically normal adult Dendermonde White domestic rabbits raised for human consumption.

Procedures: The rabbits were slaughtered in a slaughterhouse, flayed, and decapitated; the rabbit heads were frozen for micro-CT examination.

Low-field magnetic resonance imaging and cross-sectional anatomy of the rabbit head.

The purpose of this study was to provide a detailed anatomical description of the soft-tissue structures of the head of normal rabbits using low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The cadaver heads of six domestic rabbits and one dwarf rabbit were used to perform transverse, sagittal and dorsal 2.5-mm-thick T1-weighted images.

Computed tomography and cross-sectional anatomy of the head in healthy rabbits.

Objective: To obtain a detailed anatomic description of the rabbit head by means of computed tomography (CT).

Animals: 6 clinically normal Dendermonde White rabbits weighing 3 kg and raised for human consumption and 1 Netherland dwarf rabbit.

Procedures: The commercially raised rabbits were slaughtered in a slaughterhouse, flayed, and decapitated.
