Radiography is frequently used to investigate otitis media and dental disease in rabbits, although there are few detailed reports regarding the radiographic anatomy of the rabbit skull. The aim of this study was to document rabbit skull radiographic anatomy, with particular reference to the tympanic bulla (TB) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and to identify views that allowed optimal assessment of these areas. Equipment was used that allowed repeatable positioning of skulls at known rotational angles in lateral (lateral to rostrocaudal) and long axis (lateral to ventrodorsal) directions. The views were repeated with lead markers attached to anatomical features and cadaver heads. The TB could be best examined between 30° and 60° in both planes. The TMJ was best visualised between 70° and 90° in a lateral direction, particularly along a true rostrocaudal plane, but could not be imaged well at any of the long axis rotational angles. Similar images were obtained using cadavers.
放射摄影常用于研究兔的中耳炎和牙科疾病，尽管有关兔颅骨的放射解剖学的详细报告很少。本研究的目的是记录兔颅骨的放射解剖学，特别是鼓室（TB）和颞下颌关节（TMJ），并确定可最佳评估这些区域的视图。使用的设备允许颅骨在已知的旋转角度下以重复的方式定位在侧面（前后向到侧向）和长轴（侧向到背腹向）方向。在带有铅标记的解剖特征和尸体头上重复了这些视图。在两个平面中，TB 可在 30°至 60°之间最佳检查。TMJ 在侧向方向上最好在 70°至 90°之间观察，特别是在真正的前后向平面上，但在任何长轴旋转角度都无法很好地成像。使用尸体也可以获得类似的图像。
