Morphometrical Analysis of the Egyptian Mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) Hind Limb Bones (Pelvis, Femur and Crus) Using Three-Dimensional Reconstructed Images

Öz:
The Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) is on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, and very little information is available on its morphometric characteristics. This study aimed to create the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the pelvis, femur and crus bones in the hind limb of the Egyptian mongoose using two-dimensional (2D) multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images, perform morphometric measurements on these models, and compare these measurements to other Carnivora members described in the literature. For this purpose, MDCT was performed on the hind limb bones of two adult mongooses (one male, one female) who died as a result of traffic accidents at different times and were brought to the anatomy laboratory, and the data were stored in the DICOM format. These images were transferred to a computer with 3D reconstruction software Mimics 14.1 loaded, and the reconstruction of the hind limb bones was undertaken. Some morphometric measurements were performed from the 3D models of the pelvis, femur and crus bones. Also, cortical thickness, endosteal and periosteal diameter values of the femur and tibia were measured using MDCT images. According to the results, the measurements of the male mongoose were larger than those of the female mongoose, except for the angle of arcus ischiadicus. The Egyptian mongoose was found to have a minor form among the members of the order Carnivora. It is expected that the morphometric measurements revealed as a result of this study will contribute to the knowledge concerning wild animals and guide future clinical studies.

Kuyruk Süren (Herpestes ichneumon) Arka Bacak Kemiklerinin (Pelvis, Femur ve Crus) Üç Boyutlu Rekonstrüksiyon Görüntüleri Kullanılarak Morfometrik Analizi

Öz:
Kuyruk süren (Herpestes ichneumon), Uluslararası Doğayı Koruma Birliği Tehdit Altındaki Türlerin Kırmızı Listesi’nde yer almaktadır ve morfometrik özellikleri hakkında çok az bilgi mevcuttur. Bu çalışmanın amacı; arka ekstremite’nin yapısında bulunan pelvis, femur ve crus kemiklerinin iki-boyutlu (2B) multidedektor bilgisayarlı tomografi (MDBT) görüntülerini kullanarak, üç-boyutlu (3B) rekonstrüksiyonlarını oluşturmak ve bu modeller üzerinden alınan morfometrik ölçümleri ortaya koyarak, literatürde bulunan Carnivor ile karşılaştırmaktır. Bu amaçla farklı zamanlarda trafik kazası sonucu ölen ve Anatomi laboratuvarına getirilen erişkin 2 adet (1 erkek, 1 dişi) kuyruk süren’in arka ekstremite kemiklerinin MDBT görüntüleri alındıktan sonra, veriler DICOM formatında stoklandı. Bu görüntüler 3B rekonstrüksiyon programı olan Mimics 14.1’in yüklü olduğu bir bilgisayara aktarılarak, arka ekstremite kemiklerinin rekonstrüksiyonları gerçekleştirildi. Pelvis, femur ve crus kemiklerinin 3B modellerinden bazı morfometrik ölçümler alındı. Ayrıca femur ve tibia’nın kortikal kalınlığı, endosteal ve periosteal çap değerleri MDBT görüntüleri kullanılarak ölçüldü. Ölçüm sonuçlarına göre, erkeğe ait değerlerin arcus ischiadicus açısı dışında dişiye ait olanlardan daha büyüktü. Kuyruk süren’in Carnivora takımının üyeleri arasında küçük bir yapıya sahip olduğu tespit edildi. Bu çalışma sonucunda ortaya konulan morfometrik ölçüm değerlerinin yaban hayvanlarının bilgi birikimine katkı sağlaması ve klinik uygulamalarda yardımcı olması beklenmektedir.
