Abstract

Aim: The study was aimed to evaluate the normal anatomical structure of horn using digital radiography and computed tomography in cattle.

Method and materials: Study was conducted on cadaver horns of cattle using X-ray diagnostic techniques; computed radiography and computed tomography and imaging of normal anatomical structures were evaluated.

Results: The study revealed that computed radiography and computed tomography techniques provided detailed information regarding anatomical structure of the normal horns viz; horn sheath, bony core, bony septa, connective tissue layer and pneumatic cavity.

Conclusion: Computed radiographic and computed tomographic evaluation revealed normal radiographic anatomical structures of cattle horn viz; horn sheath, bony core along with bony septa, connective tissue layer what are subjected to the diagnosis of various kinds of horn affections.
