Generic human heart scaffold

Study Purpose: The goal of this work is to create annotated a generic human heart scaffold for registration of segmented data obtained by experimental groups.

Data Collected: The generic scaffold is created based on the general description and average dimensions of human hearts as in the literature.

Primary Conclusion: None stated

Curator’s Notes:

Experimental design: Not applicable.

Completeness: The dataset is intended to serve as a tool onto which other datasets will be mapped.

Subjects & Samples: The generic scaffold is not subject/sample specific but represents a generic human heart.

Primary vs derivative data: In the primary folder, nodal information and element connectivity of the scaffold are formatted as an exf file. Using the commands in the cmgui file, the scaffold can be visualized using open source software CMGUI, RRID: SCR_01927. The JSON file contains the parameter settings to reproduce the scaffold in the ScaffoldMaker software, RRID:SCR_019003. The derivative folder contains the legacy VTK format file which can be used to visualize the scaffold in many different visualization software e.g. ParaView. The Scaffold folder in the derivative folder contains the json files used to generate a visualization of the scaffold on the web portal.
