The aim of the study was to evaluate relationships between morphometric, densitometric and mechanical properties of tibiotarsus in ostriches (Struthio camelus). 14-month-old males (N=15) and females (N=31) were slaughter to obtain left tibiotarsus. Using computed tomography technique (Somatom Emotion scaner, Siemens), volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the trabecular (Td) and cortical bone (Cd), mean voulmetric bone mineral density (MvBMD) and...

The aim of this study was to determine morphological and densitometric parameters of mandible obtained from male and female silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes). The study was performed on 1-year-old males (n=7) and females (n=8). Mandible was isolated and subjected to morphological and densitometric analysis using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) method and Somatom Emotion Siemens apparatus (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) equipped with Somaris/5 VB10B so...
