The Visible Human Project 2.0: Advancing Anatomical Visualization
The NLM Visible Human Project has created publicly available, anatomically detailed, 3D representations of both male and female bodies. This initiative continues to push the boundaries of medical imaging and education.
One notable dataset features a 72-year-old male donor, meticulously preserved and cryosectioned into 1,477 slices at 0.147mm intervals, with high-resolution imaging before and after freezing.
