Abstract：
Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive, three-dimensional imaging tool used in medical imaging, forensic science, industry and engineering, anthropology, and archaeology. The current study used high-resolution medical CT scanning of 431 animal skulls, including 399 dog skulls from 152 breeds, 14 cat skulls from 9 breeds, 14 skulls from 8 wild canid species (gray wolf, golden jackal, coyote, maned wolf, bush dog, red fox, Fennec fox, bat-eared fox), and 4 skulls from 4 wild felid species (wildcat, leopard, serval, caracal). This comprehensive and unique collection of CT image series of skulls can provide a solid foundation not only for comparative anatomical and evolutionary studies but also for the advancement of veterinary education, virtual surgery planning, and the facilitation of training in sophisticated machine learning methodologies.
摘要：
计算机断层扫描（CT）是非侵入性的，用于医学成像的三维成像工具，法医学,工业和工程，人类学,和考古学。当前的研究使用了431个动物头骨的高分辨率医学CT扫描，包括来自152个品种的399只狗头骨,来自9个品种的14个猫头骨，来自8种野生犬科动物的14个头骨（灰狼，金狼,土狼,manedwolf,布什狗,红狐狸,FennecFox,蝙蝠耳狐狸)，和来自4种野生猫科动物的4个头骨(野猫，豹子,serval,caracal）。这种全面而独特的头骨CT图像系列集合不仅可以为比较解剖学和进化研究提供坚实的基础，而且可以为兽医教育的发展提供坚实的基础，虚拟手术计划，以及促进复杂机器学习方法的培训。
