Micro-CT Imaging Dataset on ex-vivo Ovine Functional Spinal Segments as Healthy, Injured and Treated with Cement Discoplasty

<p>General information:</p> <p>- This dataset contains micro-CT images and mechanical test data from ovine functional spinal units (FSU).&nbsp;<br> - The micro-CT data was produced using a Bruker SkyScan 1172. The settings for the scans are given in the &#39;.log&#39; files in each folder.&nbsp;<br> - The compression testing was conducted on an MTS 858 Mini Bionix T/II. The settings for each test can be found in test &#39;.txt&#39; files.<br> - In short, every FSU was mechanically tested in compression under different conditions. Before and after every test, the FSUs were scanned to ensure there was no damage<br> &nbsp; to the sample. More information can be found in the related publication:&nbsp;<br> - The mechanical testing data is arranged in folders with consecutive cycles. It is highly recommended to use the last three cycles for analysis. &nbsp;</p> <p>Data set notation:</p> <p>- All the datasets are noted by Sheep number. Sh7 = Sheep 7; Sh8 = Sheep 8; Sh9 = Sheep 9. In the publication, the numbers were switched to 1,2,3 respectively.<br> - files denoted with &#39;_rec&#39; contain the reconstruction of the projection images.&nbsp;<br> - &#39;Tested&#39; or &#39;After test&#39; files refers to the scan after mechanical testing. &nbsp;</p>
