I think there are lots of ways of rebuilding your mouse.

A simple way of using your data to rebuild a slice would be to use the
points to draw a 2d spline and extrude it as a prism. You could then use
your photo as an image map on the slice to show the organs. You would need
to define 240 prisms to reconstruct your whole mouse.
I've used your data below in an example of two slices, applying an image to
the second. I've made the slices 5 units thick and spaced them 5 units
apart.

I'm not sure if this is quite what you're after, but I hope it might give
you some ideas:


camera {
  location <360, 240, -60>
  look_at <320, 224, 0>
}

light_source { <300, 400, -100>, rgb<1, 1, 1> }

prism {
  linear_sweep
  linear_spline
  0,         // height 1
  5,        // height 2
  84,       // number of points
