High resolution X-ray micro-tomography datasets for in-situ effective contact angle analysis in carbonate rocks

The datasets contain high resolution X-ray micro-tomographic images (raw, filtered and segmented) obtained after a drainage-imbibition cycle in a water-wet Ketton carbonate rock sample. Two subsets (SSa and SSb) were extracted from the tomographic images on which we have performed automatic effective contact angle measurements.
