BACKGROUND
Part of the diagnostic workup for cardiac diseases is radiographic imaging. To determine an enlarged heart, species-specific reference values are necessary. Wild birds are rarely diagnosed with cardiac disease, and only a few studies have been done to investigate the cardiac silhouette in wild birds.
METHODS
In this retrospective study, the cardiac silhouette of 36 wild galahs, presented at the hospital, was investigated in relation to other anatomic landmarks like the thoracic width, clavicula width, synsacrum width, distance between the third and fourth rib, distance of the clavicula, and length and height of the sternum using a digital DICOM viewer.
RESULTS
The cardiac width was significant compared to the thoracic width with a minimum to maximum of 50 to 65%. The cardiac width compared with the coracoid width also showed significant results with a minimum to maximum range of 570 to 743%. A significant correlation was found between the weight and the cardiac width and length.
CONCLUSION
The cardiac silhouette in wild galahs is easily measured in both radiographic views, and the heart size can be compared to other anatomical landmarks.
背景
心脏病诊断检查的一部分是影像学检查。为了确定心脏增大，特定物种的参考值是必要的。野生鸟类很少被诊断出患有心脏病，并且仅有少数研究对野生鸟类的心脏轮廓进行了调查。
方法
在这项回顾性研究中，使用数字DICOM阅读器，对送至医院的36只野生粉红凤头鹦鹉的心脏轮廓与其他解剖标志进行了调查，这些解剖标志包括胸宽、锁骨宽度、愈合荐骨宽度、第三和第四肋骨之间的距离、锁骨距离以及胸骨的长度和高度。
结果
心脏宽度与胸宽相比具有显著差异，最小值至最大值为50%至65%。心脏宽度与喙骨宽度相比也显示出显著结果，最小值至最大值范围为570%至743%。在体重与心脏宽度和长度之间发现了显著相关性。
结论
在两种影像学视图中都可以轻松测量野生粉红凤头鹦鹉的心脏轮廓，并且心脏大小可以与其他解剖标志进行比较。
