Siirt Renkli Tiftik Keçisinde (Capra hircus) Metapodium ve Acropodium Kemiklerinin 3D Modelleme ile İncelenmesi

Abstract

Studies on Artiodactyla species benefit from the use of metapodial bones. Being one of the bones that completed its development early and being well preserved because it is not affected by environmental conditions, it can be unearthed as a single piece in archaeological excavations. In recent years, the disadvantages of 2D images have contributed to developing 3D modeling methods in medicine. Adult (1-3 years old), 10 male and 10 female Siirt-colored Mohair goat metacarpus and forelimb digit bones (phalanx proximalis, phalanx media and phalanx distalis) were used in our study. Bones were scanned with a computed tomography device. The resulting images were saved in DICOM format and 3D models were created using a special software. 14 osteometric measurements were taken from the metacarpus and 12 from the digit bones. The results were evaluated statistically. As a result of the statistical evaluation, in the metacarpus; Smallest Breadth of diaphysis (Sd), Breadth of distal (Bd), Medio-lateral width of condylus medialis width of condylus medialis (WCM), Depth of proximal (Dp), Antero-posterior diameter of external trochlea of condylus medialis (Dem) and Antero-posterior diameter of internal trochlea of condylus medialis (Dim) parameters were found to be statistically significant between males and females (P
