2.3 Table of 3D organ model IDs and organ names

Data name Table of 3D organ model IDs and organ names
Description of data contents

List of downloadable 3D organ models in a tab-delimited text file format, describing the correspondence between 3D organ model IDs and organ names

File partsList.txt (35KB)

Each column is delimited by a tab character in the file.
Data items are the following:
Data item Description
id ID of the corresponding FMA (Foundational Model of Anatomy), starting with "FMA". If a corresponding concept is not found in the FMA, a BodyParts3D's original ID that begins with "BP" is assigned.
en English name. Basically, a preferred name of FMA is assigned.
phase_number The stage of data generation, i.e. the quality of data, which consists of three phases from phase1 to phase3.
last_updated Last updated date of the model
organ_system Organ system to which the organ belongs (e.g. nervous system or circulatory system)

2.4 Data describing the inclusion (part-of) relationships between two organs

Data name Data describing the inclusion (part-of) relationships between two organs
Description of data contents

File of data describing the inclusion (part-of) relationships between two organs of the downloadable 3D organ models

File partOf.txt(37KB)

Each column is delimited by a tab character in the file.
Data items are the following:
Data item Description
id Organ ID
name English name of the organ in the first column
part id ID of an organ that is part of the organ in the first and second columns
part name English name of the organ in the third column (part id)

2.5 Organ ID-specific polygon data 1 (Polygon reduction ratio = 10.0 %)

Data name Organ ID-specific polygon data 1 (Polygon reduction ratio = 10.0 %)
Description of data contents

BodyParts3D phase-2 or 3 3D organ model data with the polygon reduction ratio of 10 %. The zip-compressed download files contain multiple files of organ ID-specific polygon data in the STL or VTK format. The polygon data file is named as "organ ID" of the 3D organ models followed by the extension ".stl" or ".vtk".

Data name Organ ID-specific polygon data 2 (Polygon reduction ratio = 1.0 %)
Description of data contents

BodyParts3D phase-2 or 3 3D organ model data with the polygon reduction ratio of 1 %. The zip-compressed download files contain multiple files of organ ID-specific polygon data in the STL or VTK format. The polygon data file is named as "organ ID" of the 3D organ models followed by the extension ".stl" or ".vtk".

About polygon data

The polygon reduction ratio is the ratio of the number of triangles after reduction to the number before reduction. Therefore, the data volume decreases as the polygon reduction ratio decreases, and the original shape may not be preserved.
