Özet

Anatomy of the guttural pouches and their associated structures such as bones, muscles, salivary glands, vessels and nerves were examined in detail in 4 adult donkey heads by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The protocol was performed using a superconducting magnet operating at a field strenght of 1,5 Tesla in 5 mm thickness transversal sections in human body coil. The obtained images provided excellent detail, so the relevant anatomic structures were described in whole slices. The pouch and cortical bone were scanned very low signal intensity, the muscles were slightly hypointense and the salivary glands were slightly hyperintense signals. Presented informations in this study will serve as a reference data to review MRI of the guttural pouch and its associated structures in clinical applications especially in the diagnosis of the guttural pouch diseases.
