Does anybody know about papers or studies regarding the inner structure and pneumatization of pterosaur vertebrae, determined via CT scanning? Taxa of interest are pterodactylidae, istiodactylidae, ornithocheiridae and basal members of azhdarchidae.
Thank you in advance!
Not very familiar with the topic, but perhaps this could help:

Take a look at the author/s, there seems to be more literature as well.
Good luck!
Hello Denis,
Not a 100% match, but a start (obtained with different types of CT scans):
