4. CONTENTS
-----------
This specific dataset relates to KNEE ID 2

Filenames for CT scans are [KNEE CODE]_CT_intact or [KNEE CODE]_CT_dissected; The dissected zip file usually contains both an image stack for the tibia and the femur, unless stated otherwise in the file name.
Filenames for MR scans are [KNEE CODE]_MR_[short_name_for_the_sequence] where the short name for each sequence is described below.
Table of available data for each knee; each imaging sequence is stored in a zip file. Each image stack is provided in a DICOM format.
