The Computational Bioengineering Lab –BIC- by the
Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna
(Italy) announces the release of the third
selection of data belonging to the Living Human
Digital Library –LHDL- multiscale musculoskeletal
data collection, relative to LHDL_Donor1.
From today two new data resources are available.
The first includes muscles quantitative data
obtained by the dissection of the lower limbs
skeleton. Muscle surfaces, tendon fibres, muscle
origins and insertions, with associated
measurements of muscle volumes, muscle lines of
actions and sarcomere length are reported for each muscle.
The second dataset consists of faceted models of
the external surfaces of the thigh muscles,
resulting from the segmentation of the previously
published whole body MRI scan of the donor’s skeleton.
A low-resolution model of the muscles thigh
(named Locate) is also included to make spatial
alignment possible with other data resources coming from the same donor.
The data can be accessed from the
PhysiomeSpace
service, an interactive digital library service
hosted on the Biomedtown portal, designed to
manage and share a large collection of
heterogeneous biomedical data. PhysiomeSpace
provides free accounts with up to 1 GB of on-line
storage space and it is free to use for no profit
research purposes under the LHDL license
agreement
www.physiomespace.com/public/LHDLdata_Licence.
A license for commercial use of the LHDL data
collection is also available, for more information please contact: bic@ior.it.
This initiative is part of a bigger plan which by
the end of 2010 will see the publication of the entire LHDL_Donor1 collection.
How to access the PhysiomeSpace resources:
To be able to access the LHDL multiscale collection, you firstly need to:
- register to the BiomedTown portal,
- subscribe to the PhysiomeSpace user group,
- install the PSLoader© client application.
For more detailed instructions, please read the
“How to get access to the service” section, at
www.physiomespace.com/access.
You are now ready to download the data
repository. Go
to www.physiomespace.com/ps_home and:
- search within the available data
resources and then add those you wish to download
to your basket, clicking on the shopping cart
icon next to it. Now you are ready to download the resource with PSLoader©- Open PSLoader© and authenticate,
inserting BT username and password.
To finalise the download into PSLoader©, follow
this path: Operations>Manage>Download from
basket. Proceed saving the data. A window called
“Download from basket” will open, listing the
resources currently in your basket. At the end of
the download process, the downloaded data
resources will appear in the PSLoader© data tree,
and you can start working on them.
About the LHDL project:
The Living Human Digital Library (LHDL) research
project
(www.livinghuman.org,
FP6-2004-ICT- 026932) was a STREP Project
co-funded by the European Commission's as part of
the 6th Framework Programme. The project, under
the scientific coordination of the Istituto
Ortopedico Rizzoli (IOR, Italy), ran for three
years from February 2006 to February 2009 and saw
the participation of the University of
Bedfordshire (U.K.), the Université Libre de
Bruxelles (ULB, Belgium), the Open University
(U.K.) and the CINECA Super Computing Centre (Italy).
About PhysiomeSpace:
On the basis of the technology developed during
the LHDL, CINECA spin-off Super Computing
Solutions (SCS) has recently started an
interactive digital library service, called
PhysiomeSpace,
designed to manage and share with other
researchers large collection of heterogeneous
biomedical data such as medical imaging, motion
capture, biomedical instrumentation signals, finite element models, etc.
