Abstract :Background/Aim: The male urethra in domestic mammals is composed of pelvic and penile part. The pelvic part consists of preprostate and prostate part.The aim of the study was to present data for helical СТ visualization of the rabbit postprostate urethra. Material and Method: Ten mature clinically healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were studied. The animals were anesthetized. The bone landmarks at the helical СТ study were identified. The peroral and parenteral contrast agents were administered. A whole body multi-slice helical computed tomography scanner was used. Result and Conclusion: СТ scan of the pelvis in the transverse plane through the third, fourth sacral and first coccygeal vertebra, body of ischiadic and ischiadic symphysis visualized the following: urethral hypoattenuated lumen was dorsal to the pelvic symphysis; the urethral lumen’s shape was ovoid with regular contours and flattened dorsoventral; the urethral wall was relatively hyperattenuated, compared to the close soft tissues, except the rectal finding. The study creates a detail picture for the postprostate urethra that shows the method’s benefits.Keywords : Anatomy, Helical CT, Rabbit, Urethra.
