In 2000, the photos were rescanned at a higher resolution, yielding more than 65 gigabytes. Each of the resulting 1,871 "slices" was photographed in both analog and digital, yielding 15 gigabytes of data. The specimen was then "cut" in the axial plane at 1-millimeter intervals. The male cadaver was encased and frozen in a gelatin and water mixture in order to stabilize the specimen for cutting. There are currently efforts to repeat this project with higher resolution images but only with parts of the body instead of a cadaver.ĭata Cryosection through the abdomen of a human male, including the upper extremities The project can be viewed today at the NLM in Bethesda, Maryland. Planning began in 1986 the data set of the male was completed in November 1994 and the one of the female in November 1995. National Library of Medicine (NLM) under the direction of Michael J. A male and a female cadaver were cut into thin slices, which were then photographed and digitized. It is used as a tool for the progression of medical findings, in which these findings link anatomy to its audiences. The Visible Human Project is an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body, in order to facilitate anatomy visualization applications.
