In literature reviews on
porcupines, no research has been found on the examination of the trachea’s
computerized tomography. In this study, it was aimed to examine the
computerized tomography for the first time in porcupines and to provide
significant contributions in this field. A total of 10 adult porcupines were
used in the study. The multidetector computerized tomography views and the
measurements were taken from the 4 specified points of the pars cervicalis and
pars thoracalis of the trachea. A meaningful statistical distinction between
the males and females was not found. In all the materials, the vertical
diameter was measured higher than the transversal diameter. Also in all of the
subjects; the increase in the diameters of the trachea from the cranial towards
the caudal was found to be remarkable. In the statistical investigation; in the
measurements of the vertical (V) and transversal (T) diameters and in the
measurements of the lumen crosssectional area (CSA), the differences between
the cervical and thoracal measurement values were found to be significant. It
was thought that this study will provide reference datas for similar studies.

Oklu Kirpilerde Trachea’nın Bilgisayarlı Tomografi ile İncelenmesi

Öz

Oklu
kirpiler üzerinde yapılan literatür taramalarında trachea’nın bilgisayarlı
tomografi metodu ile incelendiği bir araştırmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bu
çalışmada; oklu kirpilerde trachea’nın bilgisayarlı tomografi ile ilk kez
incelenmesi ve alanına önemli katkılar sağlaması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada 10
erişkin oklu kirpi kullanılmıştır. Multidedektör bilgisayarlı tomografi
görüntüleri ve ölçümleri trachea ’nın pars cervicalis’i ve pars
thoracalis’inden belirlenen 4 noktadan alınmıştır. Erkek ve dişiler arasında
anlamlı bir istatistiksel ayrım tespit edilmemiştir. Bütün materyallerde
vertical çap, transversal çaptan daha yüksek olarak ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca
deneklerin tamamında; trachea’nın çaplarının cranial’den caudale gidildikçe
artması dikkat çekici bulunmuştur. İstatistiksel incelemede; vertical (V) ve
transversal (T) çaplar ile lümen kesit alanı (crossection area) (CSA)
ölçümlerinde, cervical ve thoracal değerler arasındaki farklar anlamlı
bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmanın benzer araştırmalara referans veriler sunacağına
kanaat getirilmiştir.
