VSDFullBodyBoneReconstruction: Segmentations and surface models of bones of the entire lower body created from cadaver CT scans from the VSDFullBody collection

The segmentations and models of the bones of the lower extremities were created from anonymized postmortem CT scans of the whole body originally published by Michael Kistler in the Swiss Institute for Computer Assisted Surgery Medical Image Repository (smir.ch) as open access Virtual Skeleton Database (VSD). A mirror of the VSD is available at Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.8270364. 

However, this is a stand-alone upload and the full VSD is not required to use this upload. Further information can be found in the following publication:

Fischer, M. C. M. Database of segmentations and surface models of bones of the entire lower body created from cadaver CT scans. Sci. Data 10, 763; 10.1038/s41597-023-02669-z (2023).

Post-processed 3D surface models stored as MATLAB MAT files were released as Git repository at https://github.com/MCM-Fischer/VSDFullBodyBoneModels and versioned via Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.8316730. The use of the MAT files is explained by examples for MATLAB and Python in the Git repository.

Usage
The CT volume data, segmentations, reconstructions and raw PLY mesh files of each subject are linked by a project file (MRML scene file) that can be opened with the open-source medical imaging software 3D Slicer (slicer.org).
