| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to determine morphometric
features of the horse brain hemispheres and to be reference
MRI/CT images and measurements which recently started to
be used in veterinary field.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Brains of five horses of different
breeds and sexes were used. Volumetric estimations of the
gray matter, white matter and lateral ventricles of the cerebrum
were performed using Cavalieri principle.<p>
<b>Results:</b> In this study, there were no significant differences
between volumes of gray matter, white matter, lateral ventricules
and the total volumes in the left and the right hemispheres
of brain.<p>
<b>Conclusions:</b> The volumetric features of the left and the
right brain hemispheres in horses were similar. It is thought
that obtained data will contribute to the morphology of related
region and the further studies. |
