Quail Ear 3D Anatomical Model with Histological Sections

Encompassing a scaled 3D model of an adult quail's ear created from micro-CT images, aligned with 17 annotated histological sections. It was created by Anna Bonsmann and published in 2020 to serve as an anatomical reference and educational tool.

Use Cases

• Measure anatomical structures within the 3D model to establish normative metrics for quail auricular anatomy.
• Align the 17 annotated histological sections to the 3D model for correlative anatomical study and education.
• Use the 3D model as a reference basis for evaluating clinical diagnostic imaging results in avian species.

Strengths

• Includes 17 annotated histological sections precisely aligned to the 3D model.
• The 3D model is derived from micro-CT imaging, providing detailed anatomical data.
• Published under a CC0 1.0 public domain license, allowing for unrestricted reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is specific to a single species (Coturnix coturnix), limiting broader comparative anatomical studies.
• The sample size is limited to one anatomical model and 17 sections, representing a single specimen.
• Data freshness is limited as the last update was in 2020.
