High-resolution virtual pig model.

 

Animal Models V1-x and V3-x

Most of our mice and rats models were developed based on microtome slices within the PERFORM A project and further used for the dosimetry of a large NIEHS project on free roaming animals under EMF exposure. Our numerical pig model was generated in collaboration with the MRI+ consortium. This model is based on MRI data and is used primarily as a dosimetric tool for research and development, in particular by MRI manufacturers.

NEW: Our newest addition are the MRI Mice, a set of four models include a pregnant mouse, two 12 week mice and one 3 week mouse.

We also recently added "Miss Able", our computational female Macaque model. This model was created as part of the NEUROMAN project in collaboration with Prof. Park from the anatomy department of Dongguk University, based on cryosection image data.
