In order to describe the basic data indicators of the heart shape and size of healthy sheep after anesthesia,this experiment was conducted by general anesthesia of 8 healthy sheep.The left side,right side,dorsoventral and ventodorsal of the sheep were taken by X-ray machine at the end of inspiration.Traditional measurement and evaluation method and vertebral body measurement system were used to evaluate the basic data indexes of the shape and size of the heart,and establish a reference range.The results show that:Cardiothoracic ratio(LH+RH)/LAT was 0.65±0.16,VHS was(8.25±3.66)v,and vertebral body length(Tn)at the dorsal thoracic branch of the trachea was(37.81±2.02)mm.The distance from the base of the heart to the thoracic spine(Br-Sp)was(54.79±2.80)mm,the depth of the chest(D)was(214.25±6.19)mm,and the width of the posterior vena cava(CVC)was(18.74±0.72)mm.These results are useful for the diagnosis of chest diseases in sheep.
