title: Utilization of computerized tomography for the determination of the volume of the cranial cavity of the galgo hound.
abstract: The volumetry of the cranial cavity of 30 galgo hounds (15 males and 15 females) has been studied by computerized axial scanning tomography and biostatistical methods. The serial tomodensitometric sections of heads were 5 mm thick and 5 mm distant, taken in sagittal and transverse planes. Results demonstrate a sexual differentiation, with a security of 99.99%. The discussion turns to zootechnical and osteoarcheological applications.
