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 a citation (and if you feel it is appropriate, a weblink to this site and/or an acknowledgement) in any publications using this data.

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.
