The Nissen-Riesen Chimpanzee Radiological Growth Series Project ID: 00000C414 Public
3576 Media · 16 Specimens · Managed by: Nathan Thompson

In 1939 Drs. Nissen and Riesen initiated one of the first longitudinal growth studies of chimpanzees. Through that study, whole-body radiological images were taken on a regular basis from a “normative” group of chimpanzees from birth to adulthood. Here we have digitized the known remaining radiographs from that growth study. The database comprises 3,568 X-ray images of 15 of the 16 chimpanzee subjects in the normative group and 1 individual from an experimental group. Further details can be found in Thompson et al. (2020), and we encourage users to cite this paper when utilizing this database. Thompson NE, Ahmed L, Celebi TB, et al. Digitization of the Nissen–Riesen chimpanzee radiological growth series.
