Welcome to the Digimouse webpage. Here you’ll find our labeled
atlas as well as the coregistered source data, and surface and volume
tessellations for use in boundary element and finite element modeling.
You are free to use this data and atlas as you wish, but please include

Digimouse was generated using coregistered CT and cryosection images
of a 28g nude normal male mouse resulting a matrix size of 380x992x208
and 0.1mm cubical voxels. The structures segmented from these data are:
whole brain, external cerebrum, cerebellum, olfactory bulbs, striatum,
medulla, massetter muscles, eyes, lachrymal glands, heart, lungs, liver,
stomach, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, kidneys, testes, bladder, skeleton
and skin.
