| Description | The pig has been used as an animal biomodel for experiments for a long time. There are limited information about orofacial region in pigs despite the comparative resemblance of certain anatomic structures of humans and pigs. The diagnostic screening of this area has widespread use in human medicine owing to computed tomography (CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI). However, the use of these methods in porcine medicine in very limited or anecdotal. The purpose of this project was therefore description of porcine orbit. |
