- Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the differences between the use of radiological and tomographic techniques and the macroscopy of the embryonic development of Japanese quail eggs (Coturnix coturnix japonica). 90 Japanese quail fertilized eggs were used as research materials. Every day 6 eggs were placed on incubator by 1 day to 15 days. On the 15th day, eggs were taken from the incubator and macroscopic, radiographic and tomographic examinations were performed all groups on the same day. 1. 3. 6. 9. 12. and 15. days results were evaluated. In radiological imaging, the contours surrounding the air sacs were clearly seen and It was observed that the size of the sacs increased during egg development. At the beginning, it was determined that the yolk sac, which is located in the dorsal part then approaches to the cranial part and shrinks to hyper dense contrasting structure. As a result, it was observed that embryonic development of the egg could be followed better by radiography than the CT technique. But, In both techniques it is thought that the embryo and other organelles are not adequately qualified to clearly distinguish the changes up to the 15th day.
