Purpose: The study aims to create three-dimensional (3B) models of each cervical spine with computer tomography (BT) images; to determine the morphometric parameters of each cervical vertebra with manual and digital measurement methods and to compare the accuracy between the two methods. Tools and Methods: For morphometric analyses, four male pure horse's last five neck spots were used. All the spots were scanned with a 256 multidetector IT device. The 3D Slicer software has 3B reconstruction models. Twenty-three morphometric parameters were calculated manually using 3B models and digital compass. Results: Measurement methods found statistically meaningful for the term cervical spinal interaction, spinal height, the external and internal width of processus articularis cranialis, the width of fossa vertebralis, the height of foramen transversalis, the height of incisura vertebralis and the pedicular width (p<0,001). The length of the spine was reduced from the third cervical spine to the seventh cervical spine in both measurement methods, but there was no difference between the term cervical spine interaction (p=0,685). With this study, detailed morphometric data were provided by comparing the cervical spine with each other. The digital data collected by 3B approaches will provide useful information to analyze anatomical variations. Recommendation: The morphometric data obtained in this study is believed not only to contribute to anatomical research, but also to provide a database for surgical and ortopedic research or clinical interventions on this area.
