Modeling provides advantages over dissection or consultation of print atlases because of the associated speed, flexibility, 3D nature, and elimination of superimposed arrows and labels. Our goals were to create a diagnostic atlas of pelvic limb muscles that will facilitate interpretation of MR images of patients with muscle injury and to create a 3D model of the canine pelvic limb musculature to facilitate anatomic learning. To create these resources, we used structural segmentation of MR images, a process that groups image pixels into anatomically meaningful regions. The Diagnostic Atlas is an interactive, multiplanar, web‐based MR atlas of the canine pelvic limb musculature that was created by manually segmenting clinically analogous MR sequences. Higher resolution volumetric MR and computed tomography (CT) data were segmented into separately labeled volumes of data and then transformed into a multilayered 3D computer model. The 3D Model serves as a resource for students of gross anatomy, encouraging integrative learning with its highly interactive and selective display capabilities. For clinicians, the 3D Model also serves to bridge the gap between topographic and tomographic anatomy, displaying both formats alongside, or even superimposed over each other.

Limbs were removed at the level of midtibia, and 3‐mni contiguous transverse CT images were obtained, starting at a level proximal to the tuber calcanei and con‐tinuing distally into the proximal metatarsus. Soft tissue and bone windows were used to image different anatomic features, including bones, joints, and various soft tissue components of the tarsus.

The head from each of 2 foals, euthanized for reasons unrelated to head pathology, was removed and prepared for CT scanning. Using a third‐generation CT scanner, 5‐mm contiguous transverse images were acquired. The heads were then frozen and sectioned using a band saw, with the cuts matched as closely as possible to the CT slices. The anatomic sections were photographed and radiographed. The radiographs and anatomic photographs were digitized and matched with the corresponding CT image. Each CT image was compared with its corresponding radiographic and anatomic section to assist in the accurate identification of specific structures. Clinically relevant structures were identified and labeled in corresponding images (CT, anatomic slice, and radiograph of slice).

Cadaver ponies and necropsy specimens were also used to study the regional anatomy of the cecocolic fold.Results—The ileum and distal jejunum were strangulated in 8 horses, whereas in 1 horse the small intestine and the left ascending colons were incarcerated in a rent in the cecocolic fold. Two horses were euthanatized at surgery, 6 horses had a small intestinal resection (mean length, 3 m; range, 1.5–6.4 m) and an end‐to‐side jejunocecostomy, and the entrapment was reduced without resection in the horse that had small intestine and ascending colon incarceration; cecocolic fold defects were not closed. One horse was euthanatized 36 hours after surgery because of endotoxemia. Six horses were discharged; 4 were available for long‐term follow‐up, of which 2 were euthanatized, and 2 were euthanatized 12 and 18 months after surgery because of colic signs. Variations in thickness of the cecocolic fold were observed in specimens obtained from necropsy of other horses and ponies.Conclusions—Reasons for this defect are unknown, although observed anatomic differences in cecocolic fold thickness may contribute to the development of defects.Clinical Relevance—Reduction of the entrapped bowel is easiest when traction is placed on the bowel at a 90° to the base of the cecum. Intestinal incarceration through rents within the proximal part of the cecocolic fold should be considered as a differential diagnosis for strangulating obstruction in horses.}, number={1}, journal={VETERINARY SURGERY}, author={Gayle, JM and Macharg, MA and Smallwood, JE}, year={2001}, pages={40–43} } @article{smallwood_george_1993, title={ANATOMIC ATLAS FOR COMPUTED-TOMOGRAPHY IN THE MESATICEPHALIC DOG - CAUDAL ABDOMEN AND PELVIS}, volume={34}, ISSN={["1058-8183"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1740-8261.1993.tb01997.x}, abstractNote={The purpose of this study was to produce a comprehensive anatomic atlas of CT anatomy of the dog for use by veterinary radiologists, clinicians, and surgeons.

Using xeroradiographic techniques, both foredigits and metacarpophalangeal regions of six Quarter Horse foals were radiographed at 1 day of age and then at 2‐week intervals until the foals were 6 weeks old. The foals were then radiographed at 4‐week intervals until they were 12 months old. The period from birth to 6 months has been described in a previous report. This paper deals with the period from 6 to 12 months of age. Lateromedial and dorsopalmar xeroradiographs of each foredigit and metacarpophalangeal region and a dorsal 65° proximal‐palmarodistal oblique view of the distal part of the digit were made at each examination. Foals were weighed and were measured at the withers immediately prior to each examination. Representative xeroradiographs were selected and appropriately labeled to demonstrate normal radiographic anatomy of these regions. Earliest radiographic visualization of distal epiphyseal ossification in metacarpal 2 and metacarpal 4 was extremely variable and ranged from 4 to 38 weeks. It was not possible to determine accurately the ages at which distal physes of the small metacarpal bones closed. In one foal, three of four of these physes were closed at 26 weeks, while in another foal, none had closed when last radiographed at 54 weeks. Radiographic closure of the proximal physis of the middle phalanx ranged from 18 to 30 weeks (mean = 26 weeks). Radiographic closure of the proximal physis of the proximal phalanx ranged from 22 to 38 weeks (mean = 30 weeks).
