CT Evaluation of the Tracheobronchial Tree in Swine
Comp Med. 2023 Aug 27;73(4):324-329. doi: 10.30802/AALAS-CM-22-000101.ABSTRACTSwine are commonly used for research on the respiratory system, but various anatomic features of the tracheobronchial tree of swine are poorly defined. The purpose of our study was to acquire normative measurements of the tracheobronchial tree of swine by using chest CT scans, thus laying a foundation for treating or studying airway disorders in this species. In our study, 33 male swine underwent thoracic CT scans; we measured anatomic features of the tracheobronchial tree, including the diameter, length, and angle of various airway structures. W...
