Birds of prey play an important role in the ecological balance of several biomes, but their proximity to urban areas often causes harm to the animal. The investigation of clinical surgical approaches requires a precise understanding of the anatomical system, especially when applied to imaging exams of wild animals. In this article we present the clinical anatomy of the long bones of Rupornis magnirostris, roadside hawk, focusing on its express form in the imaging tests adopted. Cadavers were submitted to digital radiography and computed tomography, providing models of both two-dimensional images and three-dimensional images of long bones through the segmentation of tomographic images, both 2D and 3D data were contrasted by anatomical dissection. In this article we obtain: (1) A summary of the nomenclature used in the literature of the long bones of the birds perceived in the imaging examinations. The approach presented here provides considerable advantages for the interpretation and communication of anatomical information and its visualization; (2) the 3D model produced from the segmentation process as an interactive model in the form of an embedded 3D image, which can be viewed at any angle and size, allowing the structure to be evidenced as necessary to provide an understanding of the normal anatomy of long bones of this species.

Medical images combined with 3D printing techniques have been a differential for clinical surgical and didactic approaches. The segmentation of anatomical structures in medical images for their 3D printing of biomodels has been showing promise in medical applications. The use of iodine contrast in solution on anatomical specimens promotes an increasing the density and better caption resolution of CT, expanding the range of possibilities for 3D medicine. With the capture of a complex anatomical arrangement, there is an advantage over the use of biomodels both in a digital and physical interactive way. In this article, we explain how to digitize a set of anatomical structures of the canine urogenital system in topographic position and how to create 3D digital and printed replicas. The biomodel can be applied in the most diverse areas of veterinary medicine and related fields.
