Sources for images and animations based on the Visible Human Dataset
- National Library of Medicine. Source for all raw Visible Human data.
- 3-D Virtual Colonoscopy. Static images and flythrough animations from the Departments of Radiology and Computer Science at SUNY Stony Brook.
- Interactive Knee Program. University of Pennsylvania Medical Center.
- A Guided Tour of the Visible Human. Washington University Medical School - The MAD Scientist Network.
- Vesalius Project. Creating a Computer-Based Anatomy Curriculum (Stevens Institute of Technology and Columbia University).
- VOXEL-MAN. University of Hamburg, Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science in Medicine - volume visualization, pictorial knowledge representation, 3D anatomical atlases (VOXEL-MAN). Large library of medical 3D renderings and movies, photorealistic renderings of the Visible Human.
Applications for viewing the Visible Human datasets
- Gold Standard Multimedia Inc. The Virtual Human is the first truly 3D anatomy software. The program contains state of the art volume rendering engine, enabling the user to render thousands of anatomical structures identified in the Visible Human Male. Interacting with the 3D scene, the user can rotate the anatomy, move closer to or further from it, customize the lighting, and probe or label structures.
- Research Systems Inc. Developer of IDL, ENVI, and the Visible Human CD. A solid source for VHM or VHF color, CT, and MRI images. All contained on a single CD, this product also comes with an easy to use navigator. Runs on MacOS, UNIX and DOS.
- The NPAC Visible Human Viewer. A Java applet developed at Syracuse University.
- Visible Human Explorer. Produced by a collaboration between NLM and the University of Maryland (a fast X-Windows data viewer that requires a Sun workstation with at least 30MB of disk space for its reduced database).
- Human Anatomy Visualization. At CIeMed (a collaboration between Johns Hopkins University and the National University of Singapore) has created a Java applet to view axial sections from the male dataset, as well as a brain atlas (requires a Java-capable Web client).
- 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).
- Digital Humans. Multimedia tour of the Visible Human Project with 3D computer graphics and stereoscopic views of human anatomy and a virtual reality interface.
- User Interfaces for the Visible Human Project. The National Library of Medicine is preparing an archive consisting of anatomical images of a male and a female subject, including MRI, CT and Cryosection images.
- Visible Human Female CD. The Visible Human Female CD based on the Visible Human Project by the NLM.
- FAQ for the NPAC Visible Human Viewer. Frequently Asked Questions about the NPAC Visible Human Viewer.
Scientific Papers
- The Visible Human Project. Initiated, in August, 1991, by the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical communications in order to create two electronic cadavers (male and female).
