ANATOMO-RADIOLOGICAL CORRELATION OF THE HEAD OF A GOAT (CAPRA-HIRCUS L.)

A radiologic and tomographic study was made of the cranioencephalic to pography of canary goats of medium weight and size. In a first step, t he exocranialis references corresponding to an axis designed at the le vel of the meatus acusticus externus and parallel to the basicranial a xis were anatomically and radiologically defined. Conventional stereot axic techniques were then used to reach the standard position of the h ead in order to obtain macroscopical cross sections at different level s perpendicular to the base of the cranium. In a second step, a tomogr aphic study was made to confirm the design of the axis.
