Abstract | Computerized Tomography (CT scanning) is a valuable tool for visualizing undisturbed bony and soft tissue relationships that can be disrupted or distorted by dissection. It is also possible with CT to discern features by segmenting based on attenuation values. Such differences in tissues can be functionally important. The odontocete melon is a primary example of a complex tissue that can be explored non-invasively with CT as a complement to classic dissection. This study demonstrated differences in melon architecture amongst cetacean taxa. |
