The present study focuses on the techniques and image interpretation of radiography, computed tomography, and sonography in GALS. The aim of the study is to find the most appropriate imaging tool to visualize the various organs within the mantle cavity (also known as visceral mass) in GALS. The detailed anatomy of GALS is presented with numerous figures of the different imaging techniques. The sensory organs and nervous system will not be part of the present study. eng Gastropoda; Mollusca; Fulica 2024-02-15T08:29:58.618Z LOMv1.0 Author BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Gumpenberger;Michaela; FN:Michaela Gumpenberger X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2412-0501 END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Schmidt-Ukaj;Silvana; FN:Silvana Schmidt-Ukaj END:VCARD BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Handschuh;Stephan; FN:Stephan Handschuh X-ORCID:https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2140-7892 END:VCARD https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/scheme https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/text Textdokument Text LOMv1.0 yes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf 20854307 https://phaidra.vetmeduni.ac.at/o:2539 https://phaidra.vetmeduni.ac.at/api/object/o:2539/thumbnail LOMv1.0 discipline
