Body Donor Dataset: MRI and CT Muscle and Bone Masks for 14 Donors

211.9 MB of medical imaging data from 14 body donors (#01 to #14). The dataset includes MRI muscle masks, muscle distance and thickness measurements, MRI and CT bone masks, and MRI marker data, authored by Heiko Stark and last updated in May 2026. Original raw data is not freely accessible for data protection reasons, but analyzed datasets are provided.

Use Cases

• Training segmentation models for muscle and bone structures based on the provided MRI and CT mask files.
• Analyzing muscle morphology and spatial relationships based on the provided distance and thickness measurements.
• Creating 3D anatomical atlases or phantoms for simulation based on the combined MRI and CT bone mask data.
• Validating medical imaging processing pipelines using the provided marker data (*.mrk files).

Strengths

• Data from 14 distinct body donors provides a basis for anatomical variation analysis.
• Includes multiple complementary data types: MRI muscle masks, MRI/CT bone masks, and quantitative measurements.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• The row count and specific column structure are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The original, raw data is not freely accessible, which may limit reproducibility for some analyses.
