ABSTRACT
The head from three horses euthanized due to diseases unrelated to the head and neck was imaged using computed tomography (CT). Gross cross-sectional slices of equine head #1 and skeleton of equine head #2 were compared with the CT images of the three equine heads to identify normal structures of the cranium, brain, paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, and teeth. Labeled transverse CT images of the equine head are presented sequentially as a reference for normal anatomy.

The growing demand for information about healthcare providers can be met by utilizing the enormous amount of information stored in computerized staffing and scheduling systems. Faster and more accurate staffing, along with optimal use of the available skill mix, enhances both productivity and quality of care. Decreasing overtime and minimizing or eliminating agency care can be far more effective cost savers than direct FTE reduction. Also, data related to staff retention can be invaluable in planning proactive approaches.
