The growing interest in reptiles has posed a challenge to veterinary clinicians due to the lack of a standardized system to perform anatomical studies similar to those used for dogs and cats. In this paper, we have attempted to describe, employing computed tomography and subsequent three-dimensional reconstructions, the normal anatomical features that comprise the skulls of two species of reptiles: the loggerhead turtle () and the green iguana (). Computed tomography (CT) and subsequent image processing allowed the identification of the bony structures that comprise the head of these species. As a result, and based on previous articles, we propose the most significant anatomical differences and similarities between these species.
由于缺乏类似于用于狗和猫的标准化解剖学研究系统，人们对爬行动物兴趣的日益增长给兽医临床医生带来了挑战。在本文中，我们试图通过计算机断层扫描及后续三维重建来描述两种爬行动物——蠵龟（）和绿鬣蜥（）颅骨的正常解剖特征。计算机断层扫描（CT）及后续图像处理使我们能够识别构成这些物种头部的骨骼结构。因此，基于之前的文章，我们提出了这些物种之间最显著的解剖学差异和相似之处。
