![]() The loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta) is the most common sea turtle species in the Canary Islands, mainly coming from the US western Atlantic by the Gulf Stream. ![]() This atlas can be useful as an interactive anatomic resource for assessment of the head of loggerhead sea turtles. The visualization and image assessment were performed using the Unity 3D platform to facilitate the development of interactive content in 2D. All images were segmented and colored using ITK-SNAP software. The atlas is composed of 10 osteology, 13 gross dissection, 10 sagittal multiplanar reconstructed CT (bone and soft tissue kernels), and 22 transverse CT (bone and soft tissue windows) images. The purpose of this study was to develop an interactive two-dimensional (2D) atlas viewing software of the head of the loggerhead sea turtle ( Caretta caretta) using images obtained via osteology, gross dissections, and computed tomography (CT). An accurate interpretation and thorough understanding of the anatomy of this region could be useful for veterinary practice on sea turtles. The head of the sea turtle is susceptible to congenital, developmental, traumatic, and infectious disorders.
