ℹ️ List of datasets will be published upon our paper acceptance

Welcome to the BoneHub-Datasets

This repository is a curated collection of publicly available datasets that include 3D bone models or 3D medical imaging data (such as CT and MRI scans) from which 3D bone models can be extracted. It is designed as a centralized resource for researchers, engineers, and developers working in:

• Biomedical engineering
• Medical image analysis
• Biomechanics
• Computer-aided diagnosis
• 3D reconstruction and modeling

We provide structured metadata, links, and usage details for each dataset in both human-readable and machine-readable formats. The aim is to simplify dataset discovery and comparison across anatomical regions and imaging modalities.

📌 Note: This repository does not host any original dataset files — only information and links are provided.
