Description
April 15, 2002 scans of a preserved chimaera (Hydrolagus colliei) head from the San Juan Channel, Friday Harbor, WA. The dataset contains 465 slices with a voxel size of 0.04882mm in X and Y and 0.1187mm in Z, produced by The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility (UTCT). Some slices (31-45, 136-150, 331 345) were regathered and integrated due to rotational errors.
Use Cases
Analyze internal cranial structures based on high-resolution volumetric CT data.
Create 3D anatomical models based on the 465 slice images.
Conduct morphometric studies based on the specified sub-millimeter voxel resolution.
Compare chondrichthyan anatomy based on scans of a preserved specimen.
Strengths
High-resolution volumetric data with voxel sizes of 0.04882mm (X/Y) and 0.1187mm (Z).
Contains 465 total slices providing detailed anatomical coverage.
Includes acknowledgment of specific rotational errors and corrections for slices 31-45, 136-150, and 331-345.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data may reflect temporal and geographic bias inherent to a single preserved specimen collected in 2001.
