Bowfin X-ray CT Scans with 0.0351mm Voxel Resolution

1071 X-ray CT slices of a whole Amia calva (Bowfin) specimen collected in Georgia in 1975. The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility scanned the specimen in 2003, producing volumetric data with a voxel size of 0.0351mm in X and Y and 0.1237mm in Z. Acknowledgement of UTCT is requested for use.

Use Cases

• 3D anatomical modeling and segmentation based on the high-resolution volumetric scan data.
• Comparative morphological analysis of fish skeletal structures based on the whole-body CT scan.
• Developing and testing image processing algorithms for biological tomography based on the detailed slice data.
• Educational visualization of vertebrate anatomy for the species Amia calva based on the specimen scan.

Strengths

• High-resolution volumetric data with precise voxel dimensions (X and Y: 0.0351mm, Z: 0.1237mm).
• Complete scan of a whole-body specimen, comprising 1071 total slices.
• Clear provenance with collection details (location, date, collector) and scanning metadata (date, scanner).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific computational tasks.
• Data reflects a single specimen from a specific location and time, limiting generalizability.
