Morphometric Analysis of the Pituitary Gland and Sella Turcica Using Computed Tomography Images in Hamdani Sheep: Evaluation of Sexual Dimorphism

Key Points

The main aim is to analyze morphometric differences in the pituitary gland and sella turcica based on sex in Hamdani sheep.
Conducted morphometric analysis using computed tomography images.
Analyzed the pituitary gland and sella turcica structures.
Compared data between male and female sheep.
Observed significant morphometric differences between sexes.
Confirmed the presence of sexual dimorphism.
Suggested implications for anatomical references and clinical practices.

Abstract

CT imaging revealed marked morphometric differences between sexes in Hamdani sheep, confirming sexual dimorphism. These findings may contribute to future research in areas such as anatomical reference, sex determination, clinical diagnosis, pituitary and sella turcica pathology, veterinary surgery, and zooarchaeology.
