Description
µCT dataset of a mouse kidney injected with contrast agent XlinCA and scanned with 3.3 µm voxel size. Detailed sample preparation and image acquisition protocols are published as "Simultaneous three-dimensional vascular and tubular imaging of whole mouse kidneys with X-ray µCT" in Microscopy and Microanalysis.
Segmentations of the vascular and tubular lumina along with the renal tissue are provided as masks. The three different segmented features were combined into a single dataset and encoded as different gray values:
0: Background
51: Tubules
204: Tissue
255: Blood vessels
