Arthritic elephant leg. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of the bones of a leg from a 22-year-old Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) as part of a post-mortem (necropsy). The image shows that the elephant had osteoarthritis of the stifle joint (upper right), a joint found in some quadrupeds that is equivalent to the human knee. This DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) dataset was rendered by zBrush. The CT datasets are courtesy of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biosciences, Texas A&M University. | |
