X-ray CT Scans of Gambusia affinis Fish at 13.59 Micron Resolution

X-ray CT scans of a western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) specimen embedded in wax. The dataset contains 707 slices with a voxel size of 13.59 microns in X, Y, and Z dimensions. Data was scanned by Jessie Maisano on August 18, 2009, and is provided by The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility (UTCT).

Use Cases

• Develop 3D reconstruction algorithms based on the high-resolution slice data.
• Train image segmentation models for anatomical feature extraction based on the X-ray CT imagery.
• Conduct comparative morphological studies of fish species based on the detailed internal structure.
• Validate or benchmark medical imaging pipelines using a non-human biological specimen.

Strengths

• High-resolution scan with a consistent voxel size of 13.59 microns.
• Provides a complete 3D volume with 707 slices.
• Clear provenance from a recognized facility (UTCT) with a specific scan date.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
