+# Access to VISCERAL Images
+
+The original VISCERAL CT images are shared under controlled access for academic, non-commercial research.
+Segmentations and other secondary products are available openly in this repository, but downloading the original images requires a simple application.
+
+## Why an application?
+As required by ethical approvals (Heidelberg 2014; Rostock 2025) and our renewed permissions, the images can only be shared privately. This helps make sure the data are used responsibly while still supporting reproducible research.
+
+## How to apply (quick steps)
+1.	Fill out the short form with your institutional email and a brief note on how you plan to use the data.
+2.	Agree to the Data Access Agreement and terms in the form.  
+3.	Once reviewed, you’ll receive a secure download link by email.
