X-ray CT Scans of a Northern Snakehead Fish Head, 795 Slices

X-ray CT scans of the head of a Channa argus (Northern Snakehead) specimen. The dataset contains 795 slices with a voxel size of 0.07128mm in X and Y and 0.1544mm in Z, scanned on 6 June 2005. Data was produced by The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility for Dr. Timothy Rowe and the ATOL project.

Use Cases

• 3D anatomical modeling and reconstruction based on the high-resolution coronal, horizontal, and sagittal slices.
• Morphometric analysis of fish cranial structures based on the detailed voxel data.
• Algorithm development for medical image segmentation using the provided slice data.
• Comparative studies in evolutionary biology using the scanned specimen as a reference.

Strengths

• High-resolution scanning with specific voxel dimensions provided (X/Y: 0.07128mm, Z: 0.1544mm).
• Contains 795 total slices for detailed 3D analysis.
• Clear provenance from a recognized facility (UTCT) with a specified scan date and personnel.
• Includes resliced data in horizontal and sagittal planes for multi-view analysis.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and file formats require manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale ML training.
• Data is from a single specimen scanned in 2005, which may limit generalizability.
