    Hi there. I'm new to this website, so hello :)
    My name is Harsh Borah and I have a totally different agenda to be here. I am a 3d artist working in film VFX industry. If you guys have seen recent film Guardians of the Galaxy or Paddington, I modeled the Rocket raccoon character using computer graphics. I am a character modeler and I create a lot of characters and creatures based on real life Animals. Hence I have to do a lot of reseach and study in human/animal anatomy. You may see some of my works on y website here harshcg.tumblr.com


    I have been recently reading lot of CT scans and that has helped me understand animal anatomy in depth, in terms of musculature, form and internal bone structure. I have been able to find some Dicom files on humans, but its been hard to find good dicom files for animals such as Dog, Cat, Wolf and such. It would be great if you can help me understand what's this Vet Pacs and how does it work. I have tried installing Vet-View and Vet-WebX but unable to use it.
    Can you share some detailed high resolution CT scans of animals that you may have used for research? Or can you please help me through how can I find some good examples to study.


    The software that I have been using to view these dicom files in volume rendering is 3D Slicer Pro. Is there any there software to view and extract better 3d models?
    The quality I am looking to study is something like these...
