The Volume Library


The intention of the library is to provide volume datasets for scientists involved with volume visualization and rendering. Commercial use is prohibited and no warranty whatsoever is expressed.

The datasets contain regular volume data mainly coming from CT or MRI scanners. The data is stored in the PVM format which contains information about the grid size, bit depth, and the cell spacing of a dataset. Optionally it may also contain a dataset description, courtesy information, the type of the scanner and a comment. This information and the raw data can be extracted easily using the PVM tools distributed with the V^3 volume rendering package available at my sourceforge page. Just checkout the V^3 package, type "install.sh" in a Linux shell and use the pvminfo resp. pvm2raw utility in the tools folder to extract the dataset information resp. the raw data.

FMRI scans taken at an undisclosed location in the University of Utah research park
July 13th, 2001
The scans were taken as part of an arcane research project by a buddy
of mine named Jim Lee. Jim also provided the Matlab scripts you can
use to view the MRI data. I am making the data freely available with
the following caveats:

1: If you publish a scientific paper with an image created using my
MRI data you will mention that the image was created using the "Bruce
Gooch's Brain" data sets.

2: If you create a really cool image of my brain you will email me a
copy of it. I will post all such images on this site.

Thank You, and happy computing.

CT Scan
28.Jan.2000
This is a CT scan of the terracotta Stanford Bunny.

Three hundred sixty-one files comprise the bunny. The scale of the
voxel data is 0.337891 mm x 0.337891 mm x 0.5mm in the x-, y-, and z-
dimensions respectively. The greyscale units are Hounsfield units,
denoting electron-density of the subject. The data is raw 512x512
slices, unsigned, 12 bit data stored as 16bit (2-byte) pixels.

The scan was completed 28 January 2000.

Many many thanks to Geoff Rubin who helped me to scan the data, Sandy
Napel who coordinated the scan and helped to process the data, and
Marc Levoy who graciously provided the subject. Geoff and Sandy are
with Stanford Radiology, and Marc is with Stanford Computer Science.

This is the second frog used in the Whole Frog Project. Three sets of data
were produced with the MRI scans. frog2ci.hips seemed to be the best,
and only this set of data was processed using HIPS filters to balance the
contrast on the images.

This same frog was later sliced and a better data set is produced that showed
more detail of the frog.

frog2ci.hips -- is a spin echo data set
with 50 slices, inplane resolution of 0.5mm, slice thickness and
separation of 1.0mm, TE = 33ms.

The individual slices 2-45 are in the tiff directory.

BrainWeb: Simulated Brain Database

As the interest in the computer-aided, quantitative analysis of
medical image data is growing, the need for the validation of such
techniques is also increasing. Unfortunately, there exists no `ground
truth' or gold standard for the analysis of in vivo acquired data. The
BrainWeb pages provide a solution to the validation problem, in the
form of a Simulated Brain Database (SBD). The SBD contains a set of
realistic MRI data volumes produced by an MRI simulator. These data
can be used by the neuroimaging community to evaluate the performance
of various image analysis methods in a setting where the truth is
known.
