The Visible Human Project

The Visible Human Project is an effort to create detailed, 3D digital images of the human body by taking high-resolution cross-sectional photographs of donated cadavers. Using advanced imaging techniques like MRI and cryosectioning, these images allow scientists and medical professionals to study human anatomy in precise detail. The project aims to improve medical education, research, and the development of imaging technologies by providing a comprehensive, accessible digital reference of the human body’s structure.
