| The National Library of Medicine has initiated the development of new anatomical methods and techniques for the acquisition of higher resolution data sets. These techniques address the anatomical artifacts encountered in the development of the Visible Human Male and Female and seek to insure the enhanced detection of structures and provide data in greater depth and breadth. This data set presents anatomy as a continuum from a radiologic granularity of 1 mm/vocel, to a macroscopic resolution of .147 mm/vocel, to microscopic resolution of 2 microns/pixel. The availability of anatomical data with the fidelity presented will render it possible to perform a seamless study of whole organs at a cellular level and provide a testbed for the validation of histological estimation techniques. |
