Structure and scaling of the middle ear in domestic dog breeds

This data-set of 8-bit JPEG files represents CT scans of the ear regions of 17 dog breeds, plus a mongrel and a wolf. Each folder includes a CT parameter settings text file (.xtekct) which contains the voxel size. 17 of the 19 JPEG stacks were based on scans of prepared skull specimens from the Veterinary Anatomy Museum and Anatomic Pathology Laboratory at the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital, University of Cambridge. The mongrel was a preserved teaching specimen, while the Chihuahua was a euthanized animal donated to the Queen's Veterinary School, University of Cambridge, for the purposes of teaching and research. These CT scans were made by Matthew J. Mason as part of a project entitled "Structure and scaling of the middle ear in domestic dog breeds". An original journal article based on reconstructions made from the scan data has been accepted by the Journal of Anatomy (28.3.24), co-authored by Matthew J. Mason and Madaleine A. Lewis.
