The Visible Human Project

Projects Based on the Visible Human Data Set

Applications for viewing images

  • The University of Michigan's Visible Human Project provides 2D and 3D navigational browsers to Visible Human content for educational purposes.
  • Med Image: Macintosh application showing transverse, sagittal, and coronal views of the male pelvis, female head to pelvis, and female legs.
  • BCS Grid Data Blade, Java applet that provides 2D views of the Visible Human Male at arbitrary inclinations- from Barrodale Computing Services, Ltd.
  • WISE-MD, Web Initiative for Surgical Education Modules for undergraduate or graduate medical education, from NYU School of Medicine.
  • i Voxel Browser Java- based web browser showing voxel data, surface models, annotations, body system relationships, volume rendering, and stereo 3D viewing. Software under development at the University of Michigan.
  • VHPProject (VHP Projection) from Australia's Griffith University is a web portal interface allowing exploration of volumetric data via a simple web browser.
  • Net Anatomy Multi-modal anatomy teaching tool from Scholar Educational Systems, Inc.
  • virtusMed an interactive computer system designed for teaching anatomy and medical imaging procedures such as ultrasound.
  • The NPAC Visible Human Viewer, developed at Syracuse University, is a Java applet that allows one to extract planar views of the Visible Human male dataset (requires a Java enabled Web client).
  • The NPAC 3D Visible Human Viewer, under development at Syracuse University, is a VRML application that allows one to extract axial views of the Visible Human male dataset (requires a VRML enabled Web client).
  • Cross Sectional Anatomy viewer from Loyola University (Chicago)Stritch School of Medicine.
  • The Digital Anatomy Lab, 2D and 3D browsing of CT and anatomical sections using a graphical browser or forms based input - from the Queensland University of Technology (Australia).
  • Visible Human Female Head and Pelvis Browsers from the University of Michigan's Digital Microscopy and Scientific Visualization Laboratory (requires a Java enabled Web client).
  • Workshop Anatomy for the Internet (WAI) from the Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. Labeled and unlabeled cryosections, correlated CT - MR images, animations, and a vocabulary of gross anatomy.
  • Visible Human Male from the University of Colorado's Health Sciences Center. Sample images, reconstructions and animations, browser, products and labeled images.
  • Visible Human Female from the University of Colorado's Health Sciences Center. Sample images, products and browser.
  • Visible Human Male Cross-Sections from Stanford University Medical Media and Information Technologies (SUMMIT).
  • Visible Human Web Server from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland. Services for extracting labeled slices, surfaces and animations; real-time navigation through the body; constructing 3D anatomic structures; and creating teaching modules.
  • Multimodality Image Registration - cryosection, CT and MRI (Geneva University Hospital).
