Computed Tomographic Scan of a Dinosaur's Skull: The Optic Canal
Arch Ophthalmol. 2003;121:294-295
Artist's rendition of the complete skinned head of the Abelisaurus. B, Lateral view of the real Abelisaurus' skull. X-X indicates the computed tomographic scan level. C, Computed tomographic scan, coronal view. The image shows the right optic canal (large open circle) and the sella turcica (arrow). PPS indicates plaster supporting system (this support system having been built by Dr Salgado and the scan having been taken by Federico Dalla Torre, MD); JW, the dinosaur's jaw. At the bottom of the image what looks like an odd symbol is really an image artifact of a metal pin included in the PSS.
