The Visible Human Project provides digital 3D anatomical data from male and female cadavers. This comprehensive dataset supports diverse applications in medicine and education, advancing anatomical research.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Anatomical Imaging
  • Digital Archiving

Background:

  • The U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) has a history of archiving and distributing biomedical information.
  • NLM pioneered computer systems for life sciences knowledge distribution.
  • NLM's 1985-86 Long Range Planning anticipated digital image libraries over computer networks.

Observation:

  • The NLM Planning Panel on Electronic Imaging recommended creating a digital image library.
  • This library would include computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and cryosection images.
  • The Visible Human Project involves a male and female cadaver dataset.

Findings:

  • The male and female Visible Human datasets are now available via NLM license agreements.
