Abstract

Stereology is a powerful scientific method for estimating the real attributes of three-dimensional structures using calculations on two-dimensional photographs. The goal of this study was to determine the cerebral volume of cats using stereological cranial computed tomography (CT) and to uncover dimorphic differences. The study employed 16 adult Van cats (8 females and 8 males). A multislice CT equipment was utilized to scan the craniums of the cats involved in the study. Stereological computations were performed using 12 section images from cranial CT sections with intracranial borders calculated using a systematic random sampling procedure. Linear measurements of the intra-cranial region were also taken. When the findings were analysed, it was discovered that intracranial volume values differed across sexes (P<0.05). It was determined that the measured linear parameters and calculated index values did not show dimorphism between the sexes (P>0.05). As a result, it is thought that the determination of the intracranial volumes of Van cats using stereology method will contribute to clinical sciences in terms of diagnosis, detection and treatment of diseases and will allow the comparison of volume values calculated with different methods.
