The supply of the DICOM files of the chimpanzee skulls stored in Primate Research Institute of Kyoto UniversityTransfer to Digital Morphology Museam The skulls were cut by CT scanner (Aquilion 16, Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan: Animal Medical Center, College of Bioresource Sciences, Nihon University, Kanagawa, Japan) from the rostral to the caudal planes in parallel at 0.5 mm thickness to make the DICOM files including the whole morphological data of each specimen. The DICOM files are installed to the server of Primate Research Institute, and the users can be freely download the files to apply them for various applications of 3-dimensional analyzes, CAD and CG, etc. We hope that the files will be useful for many morphologists, zoologists, designers and computer scientists to develop the new concept of the morphology.
