basic approach: linear (lin) or surface (surf) deviation based analysis; imaging setup: experimental setups of the image acqusition: nosim: artifical model and no simulation of adjacent tissue, sim: artifical model and simulation of adjacent tissue, cad: cadaver study, pat: scan of patients due to clinical questions; tools for linear measurements: cal: caliper, 3Dcal: 3D-scan and virtual linear measurements, pat: linear measurements on patient DICOM data; time of dissection (for cadaver studies): dissection is done before image acquisition (dis) or after image acquisition (nodis); could not be assigned to any of the introduced categories (other)
