radiograph

All 10 alligators - including Thibodaux - participated in a routine examination which involved blood collection, radiographs and more.

“We do not have any machine that can make radiographs of large specimens, but luckily our colleagues at the Cultural History Museum did, as archaeologists use this technique much more often,” Ms. Engelschion said.

She had been trained to voluntarily allow zookeepers to do radiographs and ultrasounds on her.

Researchers had a minimum of two clinicians classify over 3,600 hip radiographs.

Riley said she found a pellet from an old gunshot wound behind the turtle’s skull when radiographs were done for the fractured shell.
