Slide 5
Background
The following recommendation was made
early in 1989
NLM should undertake a first project building a
digital image library of volumetric data representing
a complete, normal adult male and female.
This Visible Human Project will include
digitized photographic images from cryosectioning
digital images derived from computerized tomography and
digital magnetic resonance images of cadavers.

Initial Aim
The Visible Human Male data set
MRI, CT and anatomical images.
MRI
Axial images of the head and neck and longitudinal
sections of the rest of the body were obtained at 4
mm intervals.
Resolution: 256 pixels by 256 pixels
Grey tone: 12 bits (0-4095)
CT
Axial scans of the entire body taken at 1 mm intervals
Resolution: 512 pixels by 512 pixels
Grey tone: : 12 bits (0-4095)

Slide 10
Initial Aim
The Visible Human Male data set
Anatomical images
Cross-sections are at 1 mm intervals
to coincide with the CT axial images.
1871 cross-sections for both CT and
anatomy
Complete male data set
2004/03/03
Size: 15 gigabytes
Publicly available in November, 1994.

Slide 11
Initial Aim
The Visible Human Female data set
Same characteristics as the The Visible
Human Male with the following exception
Axial anatomical images were obtained at 0.33 mm
intervals. (Male: 1mm)
5,189 anatomical images (Male: 1871 images)
Complete female data set
Size: 40 gigabytes
Publicly available in November, 1995.

Slide 12
Initial Aim
The Visible Human Female data set
Spacing in the "Z" direction was reduced to
0.33mm
To match the 0.33mm pixel sizing in the "X-Y"
plane
To work with cubic voxels in three-dimensional
images.
