Pig whole-body with embedded organs using automatic workflow for inserting the organs

In this workspace, we have the automatic workflow and configuration files for inserting organs needed to produce the pig whole-body scaffold with embedded organs for the SPARC project.

A MAP Client workflow is created with a new step (organinserter) in python language to automate insertion of 3D organs into the whole-body scaffolds. The whole-body scaffold along with the organs are passed to the workflow and then it finds the common fiducial markers in the whole-body and each organ. These fiducials then are used to register the organ into the body. The embedded organs include lungs, heart.

Please see the SPARC Portal for more details about the SPARC project.
