Visible Human Database
Animations produced from the visible human database
in 1999 for the human body exhibit at the Melbourne Museum.
The Visible Human Project is a research project of the National Library
of medicine. The general plan being "....the creation of
complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations
of the normal male and female human bodies."
The visible human database currently consists of two bodies, a male and
female. The bodies were frozen at death, sliced, and digitised. The male
at about 1mm slice separation, the female at about 0.3mm slice separation.
Examples
Animations
The following animations present slices through the visible woman
voxel dataset along each of the three orthogonal axes. Each animation
consists of 500 frames but the physical step size is not equal in each
direction. The database has about 5000 slices in the top-to-bottom
direction, 2000 slices in the right-to-left direction, and 1000 slices
in the front-to-back direction.
