Anatomi canlının yapısını, içinde yer alan organları ve bu organların belirli sistemler dahilinde çalışmasını incelemektedir. Bu anatomik yapılara bakılırken çeşitli materyaller kullanılmaktadır. Formaldehit, sıvı köpük sabun, etanol ve sitrik asit çözeltisi içerisine konan organlar uzun süre çürümeden tutulsa da bu sıvıların solunması, birebir temasta bulunulması sağlığı tehdit etmektedir. Günümüzde teknolojinin de ilerlemesi ve neredeyse tüm alanlarda kullanımı veteriner anatomi alanına da yansımıştır. Görüntüleme yöntemleri ve çeşitli yazılımlar kullanılarak anatomik yapılar 3B olarak incelenebilmektedir. Böylelikle erişimi zor olan anatomik yapılar ve küçük boyutlardaki anatomik oluşumlara bakalabilme imkanı sunulmaktadır. Çeşitli 3B baskı cihazları kullanılarak bu modellerden materyaller elde edilebilmektedir. Böylelikle formaldehit gibi zararlı kimyasallarla daha az kontaminasyonla daha hijyenik koşullarda çalışmak mümkündür. Sunulan çalışmada veteriner anatomi alanında 3D modelleme ve baskı teknolojisiyle alakalı bilimsel çalışmalar sistemsel olarak bir araya getirildi. Hayvan türü bazında sistemsel olarak derlenen çalışmalarla 3D'nin veteriner anatomide geldiği nokta anlatılmaya çalışıldı. Bu konuda yapılacak olan çalışmalara yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.

3d Modeling and Printing Technology in Veterinary Anatomy

Öz

Anatomy examines the structure of living things, the organs within them, and the functioning of these organs within certain systems. Various materials are used when looking at these anatomic structures. Even though organs placed in formaldehyde, liquid foam soap, ethanol and citric acid are kept from decaying for a long time, inhaling this liquids or coming into direct contact with it poses a health risk. Today, the advancement of technology and its use in almost all areas has been reflected in veterinary anatomy field. Anatomical structures can be examined in 3D using imaging methods and various software. This allows us to examine anatomical structures that are difficult to access and small-sized anatomical formations. Materials can be obtained from these models using various 3D printing devices. This makes it possible to work in more hygienic conditions with less contamination with harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde. The presented study systematically compiles scientific research related to 3D modeling and printing technology in the field of veterinary anatomy. An attempt was made to explain the current state of 3D in veterinary anatomy through systematically compiled studies on the basis of animal species. It is expected to serve as a guide for future studies in this area.
