Abbreviations and comments:

G/A/H/W – Gender/Age/Height/Weight; Da – Original image dataset made available for independent evaluation (Y/N); TYPE (V – voxel; S – surface-based model, but without proven FEM meshability; FEM – surface-based FEM-meshable model); RES – Lowest image resolution (before or after post-processing) of the model declared by the provider (h=head, b=body); FV - Free version for available (Y/N); D – Deformable/posable (Y/N);

4

XCAT family is not directly FEM-meshable but Simpleware has created a FEM meshable model based on XCAT (http://www.humanbodymodels.com/. 2013);

5

The spinal cord model from [66] was developed by manual adaption of the DUKE model. Only the brain model from [67] was developed from a dataset of a 20 year old female with the stated resolution.
