The Visible Human Project
The Visible Human Project is an outgrowth of the National Library of Medicine's plan for creating a complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations of the male and female human body. The current phase of the project is collecting transverse CT, MRI and cryosection images of representative male and female cadavers at one millimeter intervals.
The Center for Human Simulation (CHS) is located in the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, Colorado.
