- Short: Pictures from the Visible Human Project
- Uploader: cg@amiga.oth.uni-siegen.de (Christoph Guelicher)
- Type: pix/misc
-
- The current effort under the Visible Human Project is the acquisition
- of transverse CT, MRI and cryosection images of a representative male
- and female cadaver at an average of one millimeter intervals. The
- corresponding transverse sections in each of the three modalities are
- to be registered with one another. A contract for acquisition of
- these pixel-based data was awarded in August 1991 to the University
- of Colorado at Denver. Victor M. Spitzer, Ph.D. and David G.
- Whitlock, M.D., Ph.D. are the principal investigators. The Visible
- Human data set will comprise approximately 42 gigabytes of pixel data
- (uncompressed), which would correspond to about 70 CD-ROMs. The
- digital cross-sectional images would most likely be made available
- via the Internet.
-
- The image database is publicly available November 1, 1994. It consists of
- 1,878 CT scans, all 1mm thick and on 1mm centers and congruent photographs
- of the same slices. These photographs were obtained by sectioning the body at
- 1mm increments and capturing a 2048 x 1216 digital image in 24-bit color at
- every level. These images have been registered and therefore, can be restacked
- to define the human body at every location in space with 1mm voxels. The
- voxels have attributes of red, green and blue color in addition to the electron
- density provided by the CT images.

-
- I found the WWW-server of the Visible Human Project very interesting
- but also crowded. So I decided to upload the stuff I received from there
- to aminet, to give scientifically ;-) interested people without
- international ftp/www access the opportunity to watch that stuff.
