# Virtual Anatomical Sections of the Dromedary Head (Camelus dromedarius): A Descriptive 3D CT‐Based Study of Brain–Skull Relationships

## TL;DR

This study uses 3D CT scans to visualize the brain-skull relationships in a dromedary camel, offering an educational anatomical reference for veterinary and comparative studies.

## Contribution

The study introduces a detailed 3D CT-based atlas of the dromedary camel's head anatomy, emphasizing spatial relationships for educational and clinical use.

## Key findings

- 3D CT reconstructions revealed the spatial organization of cranial bones and brain regions in the dromedary.
- Virtual sections highlighted the integration of paranasal sinuses and intracranial spaces with the skull structure.
- The study provides a visual reference for veterinary education and clinical imaging in camelids.

## Abstract

The aim of this study was to provide a descriptive three‐dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT)–based visualization of the spatial relationships between the brain and the skull in the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius), using virtual anatomical sections. The study was conducted on the head of a single 18‐month‐old male dromedary obtained postmortem following slaughter for human consumption. CT images were acquired and processed using 3D reconstruction techniques to generate axial, sagittal, and dorsal virtual sections. These reconstructions illustrate the organization of cranial bones, paranasal sinuses, major brain regions, and intracranial spaces, highlighting their spatial integration. Rather than aiming at morphometric or population‐based analysis, this atlas‐style approach focuses on anatomical topography and educational value. Although limited to a single specimen, the study provides a useful visual reference for veterinary anatomy teaching, comparative neuroanatomy, and clinical imaging interpretation in camelids.
