The Visible Korean Human (VKH) project creates detailed 3D anatomical models from cadaver sections. This technology advances medical education and enables virtual surgical simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomical Imaging
  • Medical Visualization
  • Digital Anatomy

Background:

  • Recent advancements in human body visualization include the Visible Human Project, Visible Korean Human (VKH), and Chinese Visible Human.
  • These projects involve serial sectioning of cadavers to create detailed cross-sectional images of gross human anatomy.
  • Volumetric reconstruction transforms these 2D images into interactive 3D anatomical models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To promote the expansion of a 3D anatomical image library for medical education and research.
  • To enhance user understanding and utilization of serially sectioned cadaver images.
  • To detail the techniques and equipment employed in the Visible Korean Human (VKH) project.

Main Methods:

  • Serial sectioning of whole cadavers to produce high-resolution cross-sectional images.
