Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive, three-dimensional imaging tool used in medical imaging, forensic science, industry and engineering, anthropology, and archaeology. The current study used high-resolution medical CT scanning of 431 animal skulls, including 399 dog skulls from 152 breeds, 14 cat skulls from 9 breeds, 14 skulls from 8 wild canid species (gray wolf, golden jackal, coyote, maned wolf, bush dog, red fox, Fennec fox, bat-eared fox), and 4 skulls from 4 wild felid species (wildcat, leopard, serval, caracal). This comprehensive and unique collection of CT image series of skulls can provide a solid foundation not only for comparative anatomical and evolutionary studies but also for the advancement of veterinary education, virtual surgery planning, and the facilitation of training in sophisticated machine learning methodologies.
计算机断层扫描（CT）是一种非侵入性的三维成像工具，用于医学成像、法医学、工业和工程学、人类学和考古学。本研究使用高分辨率医学 CT 扫描了 431 个动物头骨，其中包括 399 个来自 152 个品种的狗头骨、14 个来自 9 个品种的猫头骨、14 个来自 8 个野生犬科物种（灰狼、金豺、郊狼、鬃狼、丛林犬、赤狐、长耳狐、蝠耳狐）的头骨，以及 4 个来自 4 个野生猫科物种（野猫、豹、薮猫、猞猁）的头骨。这一系列全面而独特的头骨 CT 图像可以为比较解剖学和进化研究提供坚实的基础，也可以为兽医教育、虚拟手术规划以及复杂机器学习方法的培训提供便利。
