Here, you can find out about the Digital Humans CD-ROM, which explores one of the most fascinating computer projects of the 20th century, the Visible Human Project. Funded by the National Library of Medicine, the Project used two donated cadavers, one male and one female, to construct an extensive image database of human anatomy amounting to more than 50 gigabytes (or 50,000 megabytes) of data. The unprocessed data consists of over 6,000 color photographs of cross-sectional anatomy at millimeter or higher resolution as well as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images.

To make the Visible Human Project's data accessible to the general public, Multimedia Medical Systems used state-of-the-art techniques in image processing and 3D computer graphics to reduce the size of the data set and reconstruct photorealistic views of the 3D anatomy from the cross-sectional images. The result is a compelling and extraordinary CD-ROM which lets users interact with two digitally reconstructed humans.

We'd like to invite you to take a tour of our site to learn more about this project and to get a taste of what is available on the Digital Humans CD-ROM.

Thanks,
