Marmosets are small arboreal primates. Knowledge of normal radiographic parameters and frequent disorders is limited. The objectives of this study were to evaluate possible variations between quantitative analyses and injuries to the appendicular and axial skeleton of Callithrix jacchus and Callithrix penicillata and their relationship with the environment.
Radiographic images of 29 marmosets were used. Skeletal lesions were described, long bones were measured, and pelvimetry, vertebrae, and sternebras were counted.
Measurements of long bones and pelvimetry were similar between species. Evaluation of vertebrae and sternebras exhibited variations relative to the literature. Lesions on the skull, spine, thoracic and pelvic limbs were present in 48%, 54%, 44%, and 52% of marmosets, respectively.
Skeletal disorders, especially of traumatic and metabolic origin, have a high prevalence in marmosets.
狨猴是小型树栖灵长类动物。有关其正常放射学参数和常见疾病的知识有限。本研究的目的是评估 Callithrix jacchus 和 Callithrix penicillata 四肢和脊柱骨骼的定量分析与损伤之间的差异及其与环境的关系。
使用了 29 只狨猴的放射图像。描述了骨骼病变，测量了长骨，并计数了骨盆、椎体和胸骨。
种间长骨和骨盆测量值相似。椎体和胸骨的评估与文献相比存在差异。颅骨、脊柱、胸和后肢的病变分别在 48%、54%、44%和 52%的狨猴中出现。
骨骼疾病，尤其是创伤性和代谢性疾病，在狨猴中发病率很高。
