| Abstract | ||||
| This presented study is designed to provide an in-detailed anatomic reference to the pelvic cavity of the female baladi goat through the topographical anatomy, cryo-sectional anatomy, computed tomographic examination (CT) and ultrasonographic evaluation. In addition to this, recording the different diameters of the pelvis. This study was set on thirteen healthy female baladi goats weighing 20–35 kg and age range from 8-18 months. The morphology of pelvic organs was particularly detailed through many CT scans and compared by cryo-cross sectional anatomy. The cadaver was frozen. then sliced at 3cm apart after that the cryo-sections were cleaned then photographed to be matched with the closest CT image to make it easy to identify accurately different structures. CT images were used to investigate female pelvis and its related viscera (part of rectum-uterus-vagina-urethra-urinary bladder- part of ureter). The dorsal boundary of pelvic cavity was long and it continued to third caudal vertebrae. The vesicogenital pouch was longer than vesicopubic and recto genital pouches. different pelvic diameters are recorded. Two-dimensional ultrasonographic evaluation considered complementary to other diagnostic modalities in pelvic cavity configuration. Ultrasonography can easily differentiate between different soft tissue depending on its characteristic components of basic tissue. Finally, it could be proved that the different diagnostic imaging as CT and ultrasonography contribute greatly in veterinary practice as the data obtained from diagnostic imaging can be used as a diagnostic tool and baseline data for educational ,clinical and research purposes .Beside that it can be used to evaluate the female goat reproductive performance specially in prediction of dystocia through examination of the pelvis. | ||||
