title: [Radiologic evaluation of the position of the heart and its valves in American mink Mustela vison (Brisson, 1756)].
abstract: Resorting to anatomical and radiological methods we have examined the position of the heart and the projection of the heart valves. The costotopy and the ortodiagram of the heart was analyzed. Special attention was paid to the difference between the position of the heart in female and male minks. We have found that in the majority of minks the heart is enclosed between 5 and 8 rib; it is situated with is greater part on the left side of the chest, especially in females.
