MRI and Cut Cross-Sections of a Beagle

The intention of this web is to make available, to a broad community, images which grew out of a project to create alternatives to the use of animals in education. There are no "lessons" or other organized study materials associated with the web at this time. The web contains over 700MRI and 450 CT images of a Beagle dog in addition to cut-sections of a dog and images of the facility in which the MRI scans were taken. The cut-sections are stored in traditional glass jars and have been used by Purdue University students and faculty for many years. As time permits other cut-sections will be added to fill in the gaps. Because the size of the MRI images and the quality of the CT images are not ideal, we intend to obtain new images at the earliest opportunity. The MPG Video (0.3 MB) of the dog showing some of the major internal organs was created by computer from the MRI scans by David Hansen using software developed at Purdue University. Software for various parts of this project was developed by a collaborative effort involving the Department of Electrical Engineering, the Department of Computer Science (See Center for Image Analysis and Digital Visualization for current capability), and the School of Veterinary Medicine in a time period roughly corresponding to the late 1980s and early 1990s.
