Dear all,

I just wonder where I can find some CT images (micro-CT) for mice/rats to practice.  
Could you please share some with me if you have?

ps: I develop a code for autonomous segmentation of mice/rat organs.

Kind Regards

Did you try MorphoSource ([https://morphosource.org](https://morphosource.org))?

Hi Murat,

Thanks for the repository source you have shared.

I have already requested some downloads at this website, I am still waiting for the owners’ response. It is so slow to get some image series from there. I was actually looking for some researchers (in this platform) to share some micro-CTs or give me some other idea about where I can find some quickly. In the worst case scnario, I will be waiting for the owners’ reply at ([https://morphosource.org](https://morphosource.org/)).

Anyway, thanks for the info!

Scientific data (nature) is also a good open access Journal to find data sets:  
e.g.  
[https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata2018294](https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata2018294)  
and the link to the repository of the µCT data. The data is in the Analyze file format (not dicom but Slicer can open it)

> This database contains 225 murine 3D whole body μCT scans, native or contrast-enhanced, along with manual organ segmentation

Hi Steffen,

It has worked well. Thanks for the information. People on ([https://morphosource.org](https://morphosource.org/)) also replied. It just took couple of days.

Thanks a lot.

Best
