“…Available images include those of the Visible Human Project (VHP; male and female) conducted in the United States (Ackerman;Spitzer et al, 1996; the Chinese Visible Human (CVH; male and female) (Zhang et al, 2006) and the Virtual Chinese Human (VCH; male and female) (Tang et al, 2010;Yuan et al, 2008); and the Visible Korean (VK; male whole body, male head, and female pelvis) (Park et al, 2005aShin et al, 2013) (Table I). Male sectioned images of the VHP, CVH, and VK were used in many ways; for example, for creating atlases (Cho, 2009;, browsing software Shin et al, 2011Shin et al, , 2012a, and virtual dissection software (Schiemann et al, 2000;Spitzer & Scherzinger, 2006), and provided the facility of free access to three dimensional (3D) models in PDF files atlases (Shin et al, 2012b;Park et al, 2013). Furthermore, the sectioned images of VK were used that the dose conversion coefficients of radiology were calculated virtually (Kim et al, 2008).…”

SUMMARY:The objective of this research was to present high-quality sectioned images of a whole female body which would be helpful in creating an atlas, virtual dissection, and various applications for medical education and clinical trial. In addition, the authors sought to demonstrate the applicabilities of sectioned images. A female cadaver was ground serially using the cryomacrotome and photographed to make the sectioned images. Structures in the images were segmented to produce segmented images in Photoshop. In the self-developed browsing software, the sectioned and segmented images were stored. Based on the segmented images, surface models were built on commercial software and saved as PDF file. High-quality sectioned images of the female body were taken (intervals, 0.2 mm or 1 mm; pixel size, 0.1 mm; color depth, 48 bit color). In the images obtained, very small and complicated structures could be identified in color of living body. In order to ascertain the applicability of the images, the browsing software including sectioned and segmented images and the PDF file including surface models were produced. The sectioned images and surface models produced during this research will prove to be a useful source for medical software. All data generated is available free of charge.

“…The purpose of this work is to distribute more profitable models, contained in a portable document format file. Unlike other products, the PDF file, which is downloadable free of charge, can also be manipulated off-line to display the wanted surface models in real time (Ruthensteiner & Hess, 2008;Kumar et al, 2010;Phelps et al, 2012;Shin et al, 2012aShin et al, , 2012bPark et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2014).…”

Portable Document Format File Containing the Surface Models to Learn the Stereoscopic Shape of Foot Muscles

SUMMARY:We intended to present a portable document format (PDF) file containing stereoscopic surface models of the foot. While other surface models are subjectively drawn based on anatomical knowledge, our models are reconstructed from high quality sectioned images. Unlike other models, ours in the complimentary PDF file can also be saved on individual user computers to be manipulated off-line. The skin, 27 bones, 24 muscles, and 19 ligaments in the foot were delineated on a male cadaver's sectioned images from the Visible Korean project. After stacking the outlines of the structures, other than those of the ligaments, surface reconstruction was performed. The resultant surface models were placed in a PDF file, in which the models could be superimposed on either the corresponding sectioned images or the color-filled outline images. PDF bookmarks were established to exhibit the groups of foot muscles conveniently. The PDF file prepared in this research is likely to be very useful for comprehension of the topographic anatomy of the foot muscles. The models it contains can be extracted by other researchers for their own virtual dissection or surgery visualization of foot as desired.

“…Unlike the paper book, the software had no burden of numerous images; the software conveniently browsed the neighboring images. While the anatomical structures were labeled in the book, the structures were segmented and color-coded in the software for automatic demonstration of the structure names (Shin et al, 2012).…”

LEE, S. B.; CHUNG, B.S.; CHUNG, M. S.; YOUN, C. & PARK, J. S.Browsing software of the head sectioned images for the Android mobile device. Int. J. Morphol., 35(4):1377Morphol., 35(4): -1382Morphol., 35(4): , 2017. SUMMARY:The purpose of this research was to enable anyone to learn the sectional anatomy of the head anywhere, anytime by presenting software to browse sectioned images on a Google Android mobile device. Among the 2,343 sectioned images at 0.1 mm intervals, 234 sectioned images at 1 mm intervals were chosen. The corresponding 234 segmented images containing 236 head structures were selected. The software of the mobile version was programmed and debugged in the Java programming language. The folders of the sectioned images and segmented images and the txt file of the segmentation data were arranged in the source code of the software. The software was distributed free of charge at the homepage (neuroanatomy.kr) and Google Play Store. After installing the software, the sectioned images and corresponding segmented images could be browsed by touching and swiping the screen. In the medical category of the Google Play Store, the software earned a good reputation. The software of the Android mobile version was usable regardless of the time and place. The software is under the authors' non-commercial policy. Other investigators may modify the mobile software to browse their own images. The mobile version of the software will aid medical students and doctors in learning sectional anatomy.
