摘要: Thoracic radiography has been applied extensively to cardiovascular or respiratory disorders in veterinary practice and research using animal models. To establish baseline measures for various parameters of thoracic radiography, we used a cross-sectional method collect the lung length (LL), maximum interior breadth (TBr), cardiac silhouette (CBr), cardiothoracic ratio (CR), right hilar height (RHHR) random healthy captive Chinese rhesus monkeys (age, 1 5 y; 89 male, 64 female). Significant sex-associated differences occurred TBr among 1-y-old subjects RHHR 2- 3-y-old monkeys. In addition, LL, TBr, CBr were significantly correlated with age both sexes. Finally, stepwise multiple regression revealed that LL predictors female monkeys, whereas age-predictive male macaques. The current data may suggest caveats regarding use evaluating disease processes, including pulmonary tuberculosis, hydropericardium, heart failure, assessing physical development adolescent
