Generic pig stomach scaffold

In this workspace we have the mapping tool provenance data file needed to produce the generic pig stomach scaffold for the SPARC project.

An anatomically-based 3D scaffold of the pig stomach is created to map nerve ending pathways. The stomach scaffold is generated with a configurable central path defined from the fundus apex to the duodenum. A user can annotate the fundus, body, antrum, pylorus, and duodenum along the central path and use that to define the respective regions of the stomach. The cross axes of the central path provide control of the major and minor radii of the stomach in different sections.

Four wall layers (mucosa, submucosa, circular muscle, and longitudinal muscle) are added to the pig stomach scaffold. The outer surface of the scaffold is annotated as the serosa.
