To establish reference values for the cardiac size during radiographic examination in 4 species of Falconiformes used for falconry, lateral and ventrodorsal radiographs were examined from healthy birds of 4 species: Harris' hawks (Parabuteo unicinctus) (n = 48), peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) (n = 35), saker falcons (Falco cherrug) (n = 19), and lanner falcons (Falco biarmicus) (n = 13). On the lateral view, ratios between the length of the heart from base to apex and total length of the carina were calculated. On the ventrodorsal view, ratios between the width of the heart at its widest point and the distance between the ribs at the same level and between the width of the coracoid immediately caudal to the humeral articular surface in the shoulder joint and width of the heart and the distance between the ribs were calculated. No differences were found between species in the ratio of length of the heart/length of the carina. The ratios of width of the heart/distance between ribs and width of the heart/coracoid width differed between hawks and falcons but did not differ between the 3 falcon species.
为了确定用于猎鹰的4种隼形目鸟类在X线检查时心脏大小的参考值，对4种健康鸟类的侧位和腹背位X线片进行了检查：哈里斯鹰（Parabuteo unicinctus）（n = 48）、游隼（Falco peregrinus）（n = 35）、矛隼（Falco cherrug）（n = 19）和猎隼（Falco biarmicus）（n = 13）。在侧位片上，计算从心底到心尖的心脏长度与龙骨突总长度的比值。在腹背位片上，计算心脏最宽处的宽度与同一水平肋骨间距的比值，以及肩关节处肱骨关节面尾侧紧邻的喙突宽度与心脏宽度及肋骨间距的比值。在心脏长度/龙骨突长度的比值上，各物种之间未发现差异。心脏宽度/肋骨间距以及心脏宽度/喙突宽度的比值在鹰和隼之间存在差异，但在3种隼类之间没有差异。
