VISIBLE HUMAN PROJECT

国家医学图书馆(NLM)正在进行第一个项目， 构建体积数据的数字图像库，表示 完全正常的成年人类，雄性和雌性。这个“看得见的人工程” 将包括从横断面照片中提取的数字图像 冷冻切片、计算机断层扫描和磁学成像的图像 身体的共振成像。这个项目被视为一个基石 用于未来的一组相关图像库，以及用于 制定方法和标准。 该项目将分两个不同的阶段进行。第一阶段(阶段 I)是建设数字图像图书馆的一个具体项目 通过横断面CT和MRI数字化数据的采集 冰冻切片摄影数据。该项目的第二阶段是 在第一阶段获得的冷冻切片图像的数字化和 此数字数据与MRI和CT数字图像的解剖配准 在第一阶段获得的数据 在第一阶段内，承包商将参与三个主要阶段： 阶段1-获取身体、横断面CT和MRI数字数据 布景，以及为第二阶段和第二阶段选择“典型”男性和女性身体 3. 第二阶段--制作冰冻切片照片 不是男性身体就是女性身体。 第三阶段--制作冰冻切片照片 仍然是男性或女性的身体。

The National library of Medicine (NLM) is undertaking a first project, building a digital image library of volumetric data representing a complete normal adult human male and female. This "Visible Human Project" will include digital images derived from cross sectional photographic images from cryosectioning, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging of cadavers. This project is viewed as a cornerstone for a future set of related image libraries, and a test platform for developing methods and standards. This project will be carried out in two distinct phases. The first (Phase I) being a specific project in building the digital image libraries through the acquisition of cross sectional CT and MRI digital data cryosection photographic data. The second phase of the project is the digitization of the cryosection images obtained in Phase I and the anatomical registration of this digital data with the MRI and CT digital data obtained in Phase I. Within Phase I the contractor will be involved in three major stages: Stage 1 - Acquisition of cadavers, cross sectional CT and MRI digital data sets, and selection of "typical" male and female cadaver for stage 2 and 3. Stage 2 - Production of cross sectional cryosection photographs from either the male or female cadaver. Stage 3 - Production of cross sectional cryosection photographs from the remaining male or female cadaver.
