“…In anatomy, they have been used as a 2D atlas for sectional anatomy (Shin et al, 2011; or as a 3D atlas for virtual dissection (Park et al, 2013;Schiemann et al;Shin et al, 2012b;Yuan et al). In radiology, they are used as an instructive atlas for the accurate interpretation of CT and MRIs (Cho;, and in neurology, as a coordinate system atlas for brain stereotactic surgery (Cho;Cho et al, 2012;Park et al, 2010).…”

“…Browsing software was developed to explore freely sectioned and segmented images and to provide the names of structures. We believe that this browsing software could be used for teaching and learning sectional anatomy (Shin et al, 2011). In addition, by using segmented images, we built a PDF file in which surface models can be freely explored using Adobe Reader.…”

“…The sectioned and segmented images were put into the soft-ware. If a user located the mouse pointer on a structure in sectioned or segmented images, name of the structure was seen as pop-up text (Park et al, 2013;Shin et al, 2011Shin et al, , 2012b. In order to distribute the browsing software on-line, its file size was reduced by lowering the resolution of sectioned and segmented images from 5,616 x 3,744 to 1,000 x 410.…”

“…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.

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.

In our previous research, we created state-of-the-art sectioned images, color-coded images, and surface models of the human ear. Our ear data would be more beneficial and informative if they were more easily accessible. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to distribute the browsing software and the PDF file in which ear images are to be readily obtainable and freely explored. Another goal was to inform other researchers of our methods for establishing the browsing software and the PDF file. To achieve this, sectioned images and color-coded images of ear were prepared (voxel size 0.1 mm). In the color-coded images, structures related to hearing, equilibrium, and structures originated from the first and second pharyngeal arches were segmented supplementarily. The sectioned and color-coded images of right ear were added to the browsing software, which displayed the images serially along with structure names. The surface models were reconstructed to be combined into the PDF file where they could be freely manipulated. Using the browsing software and PDF file, sectional and three-dimensional shapes of ear structures could be comprehended in detail. Furthermore, using the PDF file, clinical knowledge could be identified through virtual otoscopy. Therefore, the presented educational tools will be helpful to medical students and otologists by improving their knowledge of ear anatomy. The browsing software and PDF file can be downloaded without charge and registration at our homepage (http://anatomy.dongguk.ac.kr/ear/). Anat
