The Visible Human
Project (US Nat. Lib of Med)
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/visible/
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) funded a project to develop
a digital database of volumetric data representing a complete adult male
and female. This scientific effort was named the Visible Human (TM) Project,
and the contract for the development of the dataset was awarded to the
University of Colorado Center for Human Simulation in Denver, Colorado.
A primary objective of the project was to provide the radiologic and photographic
definition of a complete, human male cadaver at a resolution of 1mm in
all three dimensions. The female cadaver would be done at a later time.
The project seeks to develop a computer database of human anatomy for visualization
in teaching and research.
