This is an excellent resource. At last a site that releases the DICOM
files themselves! Isosurfacing was useful a few years ago when computers
weren't quite so powerful but nowadays you get much better
visualisations with the original CT data (try using the free Osirix
program) and generating good isosurfaces takes a huge amount of time and
effort. You can get landmark data direct from the CT scans too (it's a
little slower but probably more accurate - again Osirix will do this but
there are better options such as Slicer3D). Releasing the uncompressed
DICOMs is what we all should be doing in terms of maximising research
value. By all means release post-processed files too, but many
researchers don't need them, or would rather do the work themselves.
Cheers
Bill

Hi Andrea
There is a great Japanese site with downloadable CT scans in DICOM,
mainly of primates but with a few other taxa
http://www.pri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dmm/WebGallery/index.html
Regards, Eric
PS One of my colleagues has built an excellent $250/yr (!!) CT scan
viewer and surface converter, with landmarking capabilities. We will
be announcing this for them soon.

Dear Morphometricians,
please, does anyone know if there's any chance to get free 3D images (from
surface scanners or other) of mammal skulls somewhere on the web?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Andrea
