CT Evaluation of the Tracheobronchial Tree in Swine.
Swine are commonly used for research on the respiratory system, but various anatomic features of the tracheobronchial tree of swine are poorly defined. The purpose of our study was to acquire normative measurements of the tracheobronchial tree of swine by using chest CT scans, thus laying a foundation for treating or studying airway disorders in this species. In our study, 33 male swine underwent thoracic CT scans; we measured anatomic features of the tracheobronchial tree, including the diameter, length, and angle of various airway structures. We further analyzed the relationships among selected principal parameters. Our data revealed several similarities and differences in anatomy between swine and humans. This information may be useful in future research.
