CD-ROM contains compressed versions of the CT data set and visualizations made from it. First, a series of QuickTime animations show the CT data in the original scan orientation and re-sliced along sagittal and transverse planes, as well as 3D reconstructions of the skull and braincase.  Second, a Java applet allows for easy browsing through reduced versions of the data, and allows access to full-resolution versions through on-screen zooming or direct image call-up.  The applet also provides some measuring capabilities.  All image files can also be accessed individually in the applet folder.
