Virtual Anatomy

Introduction

The Chinese Visible Human Project research team from The Third Military Medical University has successfully collected the first Chinese Visible Human data set in October 2002. Including the original American Visible Human and Visible Korean Human, there are total three reported visible human datasets in the world.

We have processed and compressed the visible human data so that it becomes possible to be displayed interactively on a PC with 1:1 accuracy as to the original data. As a result, the delicated anatomic structure, which is originally difficult to be revealed on an ordinary PC, could be displayed well now. With this advance, we can observe real-time volume data information from any orientation on a low-end platform.

Our recent works on visualizing the visible human and the virtual reality integration with different datasets are shown below.
