The Investigation of the Trachea in Porcupines with Computerized TomographyKeywords: Oklu kirpi,Bilgisayarl? tomografi,Trachea Abstract: In literature reviews on porcupines, no research has been found on the examination of the trachea’s computerized tomography. In this study, it was aimed to examine the computerized tomography for the first time in porcupines and to provide significant contributions in this field. A total of 10 adult porcupines were used in the study. The multidetector computerized tomography views and the measurements were taken from the 4 specified points of the pars cervicalis and pars thoracalis of the trachea. A meaningful statistical distinction between the males and females was not found. In all the materials, the vertical diameter was measured higher than the transversal diameter. Also in all of the subjects; the increase in the diameters of the trachea from the cranial towards the caudal was found to be remarkable. In the statistical investigation; in the measurements of the vertical (V) and transversal (T) diameters and in the measurements of the lumen crosssectional area (CSA), the differences between the cervical and thoracal measurement values were found to be significant. It was thought that this study will provide reference datas for similar studies
