Adrenal glands are situated cranially and in close proximity to both kidneys. The rabbit is a preferred animal pet species and is also used as an experimental model in research. The aim of this study was to investigate the CT anatomical features of the rabbit adrenal glands, using the CT device SOMATOM. : Ten sexually mature clinically healthy rabbits, with body weights from 2.5 to 3.0 kg were used. They were separated into two groups-five males and five females. CT algorithm: Transverse, sagittal, and dorsal CT studies were performed. The animals were positioned in supine recumbency. They were anesthetized with 15 mg/kg Zoletil 50. Helical CT was carried out. The body was scanned from the intrathoracic part of the abdominal cavity to the pelvic inlet. CCD, DVD, and MLD dimensions were measured. Transverse CT scans at the Th12 and L1 level visualized the topography of the right and left adrenal glands. Sagittal CT scans of , 10 mm to the right and to the left of the median plane, showed the right and left adrenal glands as findings with intermediate attenuation. The dorsal CT investigation of 30 mm and 45 mm ventral to the spine demonstrated both glands in the vicinity of abdominal organs and large blood vessels. CCD of the right adrenal gland was 6.9 ± 0.5 mm, DVD of the same gland was 5.7 ± 0.7 mm, and MLD was-3.9 ± 0.3 mm. CCD of the left adrenal gland was 5.4 ± 0.6 mm, DVD was-4.0 ± 1.1 mm, and MLD was-4.1 ± 0.9 mm. : CCD and DVD of the right adrenal gland were greater than the same parameters of the left gland. MLD of the right adrenal gland was lower than the same parameter measured for the left one.
肾上腺位于颅侧，紧邻双侧肾脏。兔子是一种受欢迎的宠物物种，也被用作研究中的实验模型。本研究的目的是使用西门子SOMATOM CT设备研究兔子肾上腺的CT解剖特征。选用10只性成熟的临床健康兔子，体重在2.5至3.0千克之间。将它们分为两组，每组五只雄性和五只雌性。CT扫描方案：进行横断位、矢状位和背侧CT扫描。动物取仰卧位。用15毫克/千克的佐乐定50麻醉。进行螺旋CT扫描。从腹腔的胸腔部分扫描至骨盆入口。测量了CCD、DVD和MLD的尺寸。在胸12和腰1水平的横断位CT扫描显示了左右肾上腺的形态。在正中平面右侧和左侧10毫米处的矢状位CT扫描显示左右肾上腺为中等密度影。在脊柱腹侧30毫米和45毫米处的背侧CT检查显示双侧肾上腺位于腹部器官和大血管附近。右肾上腺的CCD为6.9±0.5毫米，同一腺体的DVD为5.7±0.7毫米，MLD为-3.9±0.3毫米。左肾上腺的CCD为5.4±0.6毫米，DVD为-4.0±1.1毫米，MLD为-4.1±0.9毫米。结果表明：右肾上腺的CCD和DVD大于左肾上腺的相同参数。右肾上腺的MLD低于左肾上腺测量的相同参数。
