Abstract   

The present study was conducted to identify morphometric values and to reveal differences between sexes through three-dimensional modeling of digit bones (ossa phalanges) of gazella by using computed tomography images. A total of 14 (7 female, 7 male) adult gazella (Gazella subgutturosa) cadavers were used in the study. The images were extracted by scanning acropodium bones of gazella at 64-detector Multi Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) in cross section thickness of 0.625mm. Using MIMICS 20.1 program, three-dimensional models of these images were prepared and morphometric measurements were taken. In GLpe and Bd measurements of Phalanx proximalis, a statistically significant difference was established between females and males in terms of the left forelimb internal, the right forelimb internal, the right forelimb external, and the right hindlimb external bones (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between females and males in terms of volume of phalanx proximalis and surface area of the right forelimb internal phalanx proximalis (P<0.001). In GLpe measurements, a statistically significant difference was determined between females and males in terms of the left forelimb internal, the right forelimb internal, the right hindlimb internal, the left forelimb external, the right forelimb external, and the right hindlimb external phalanx media (P<0.05). A statistically significant difference was determined between females and males in terms of the data related to volume and surface areas of the left hindlimb internal the right hindlimb internal, the left hindlimb external, and the right hindlimb external phalanx distalis (P<0.05).
