The information are related to the quantified morphological parameters of the arterial network of a human kidney, which was scanned using Hierarchical phase-contrast tomography (HiP-CT) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) with a voxel resolution of 25 micrometers (https://mecheng.ucl.ac.uk/hip-ct/). To obtain access to the raw image data, please refer to the Human Organ Atlas website at following link: https://human-organ-atlas.esrf.eu/

Code folder: This folder contains Python and MATLAB files for calculating morphological parameters of the renal arterial network, including topological and Strahler generations, branching angle, colored Strahler generation representation, Murray's law, and radius correction for collapsed vessels.

Data_and_Calculated_parameters folder: The folder contains Excel files, network labels, and the network spatial graph. The Excel files contain skeletonized data on the renal arterial network in the human kidney, including information such as segments, nodes, node coordinates, and points. An additional Excel file contains various calculated parameters such as branching angle, radius vs. Strahler generation, radius over length vs. Strahler generation, tortuosity, Strahler and topological generations, and branching ratio.
