Subject: cervical vertebrae morphometrics
To: [email protected]
Dear morphometric colleagues,
I am new in the field of geometric morphometrics and I now have the
possibility to use the morphometric approach for my master thesis.
The idea is the morphological comparison of lower cervical vertebrae
of dogs. At first I want to compare if third cervical vertebrae has
similar shape in different breeds and if fourth vertebrae has similar
shape in different breeds, and so on. In second test we want to
compare the different vertebrae of all dogs among each other to
question the uniformity of the lower cervical vertebrae which is
common opinion in literature.
Now I am looking for references dealing with vertebral morphometrics
and the basics of 3D lanmark use. I would be very very glad if you
could send some useful information to me. Thanks in advance for
answering!
Sincerely,
Patrick Arnold
