    abstract = {The guttural pouches have an elusive anatomy due to their 
  location, adjacency and variable shape. Computed Tomography (CT) is utilized 
  in visualizing the details of complex body parts and their in creating 3-Dimensional 
  (3D) Models. In the present study was aimed to demonstrate sectional reference 
  anatomical details of the pouches and to obtain their certain morphometric features. 
  Heads of 5 purebred female Arabian foals were scanned by helical CT. CT was 
  quite successful in demonstrating the borders of the guttural pouches and the 
  surrounding bone and muscular tissues. The guttural pouches volume was 82.1±7.69 
  mL whereas volume ratios of the lateral and medial compartments were 16 and 
  84%. Pouches were observed as the largest air cavity of the head’s 
  total air space. 3D Models may provide substantial advantages in determining 
  topographic, morphologic, morphometric features of the guttural pouches and 
  in pre-surgical planning for this region.}
