X-ray CT Scans of Zebrafish Head Anatomy, 914 Slices

914 high-resolution X-ray CT slices of a Danio rerio (zebrafish) head, scanned at a voxel size of 0.00664 mm in X and Y and 0.0091 mm in Z. The data was produced by The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility for researchers at UT Austin and DigiMorph on September 2, 2003. Acknowledgment of UTCT and NSF grant IIS-9874781 is required for use.

Use Cases

• 3D anatomical modeling and segmentation based on the high-resolution CT slices.
• Comparative morphology studies of zebrafish cranial structures.
• Developing and testing image processing algorithms for micro-CT data.
• Educational visualization of vertebrate head anatomy.

Strengths

• High-resolution scanning with precise voxel sizes (0.00664 mm X/Y, 0.0091 mm Z).
• Total of 914 slices provides detailed anatomical coverage.
• Produced by a specialized, authoritative facility (UTCT).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single specimen scanned in 2003; freshness should be verified.
