“…The cadaver was placed in the prone position, and the flattened buttocks were massaged to revive the natural contour of the gluteal region (Tang et al, ). MRIs (T1‐weighted) and CTs of the cadaver pelvis were scanned, and the data were transferred to a personal computer [intervals, 1 mm; pixel size, 1 mm; color depth, 8 bits gray; file format, joint photographic experts group (JPEG)] (Hwang et al, ).…”

In the Visible Korean project, serially sectioned images of the pelvis were made from a female cadaver. Outlines of significant structures in the sectioned images were drawn and stacked to build surface models. To improve the accessibility and informational content of these data, a five-step process was designed and implemented. First, 154 pelvic structures were outlined with additional surface reconstruction to prepare the image data. Second, the sectioned and outlined images (in a browsing software) as well as the surface models (in a PDF file) were placed on the Visible Korean homepage in a readily-accessible format. Third, all image data were visualized with interactive elements to stimulate creative learning. Fourth, two-dimensional (2D) images and three-dimensional (3D) models were superimposed on one another to provide context and spatial information for students viewing these data. Fifth, images were designed such that structure names would be shown when the mouse pointer hovered over the 2D images or the 3D models. The state-of-the-art sectioned images, outlined images, and surface models, arranged and systematized as described in this study, will aid students in understanding the anatomy of female pelvis. The graphic data accompanied by corresponding magnetic resonance images and computed tomographs are expected to promote the production of 3D simulators for clinical practice.

“…Sectioned images of the pelvis and perineum from a female cadaver can be used to enable the creation of three‐dimensional (3D) surface models via delineation and surface reconstruction (Hwang et al, ). Such sectioned images and surface models can serve as useful electronic tools for learning the female topographic anatomy.…”

“…For example, female subjects (59 years old) in the VHP comprised regressed genital organs, while Korean and Chinese female subjects, prior to menopause, demonstrated the dynamic ovaries involving the various stages of the ovarian follicles [7]. One VCH subject was 10 months old, whose data set could be used for the construction of pediatric simulation [34] (Table 1).…”

“…In both Korea and China, approximately 0.2 mm-sized intervals and pixels were achieved by more labor and better digital cameras. Subsequently, 0.1 mmsized voxels were obtained from the head and pelvis of the cadavers and the entire body of an infant (Table 1) [7,19,34]. The Wnal attempt, in the future, might be 0.1 mm-sized voxels of the entire adult body.…”

“…The corresponding author is also in charge of the Visible Korean project that aims to manufacture the serial sectioned images of a male's whole body (Park et al, 2005) and a female's pelvis (Hwang et al, 2010). The sectioned images can be browsed on the software and will help enhance comprehension of the sectional anatomy (Shin et al, 2011).…”

SUMMARY:The aim of this research was to help the general population learn basic anatomy by providing easy and intriguing comics and Visible Korean movies. Eight significant systems (skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, urinary, genital, cardiovascular, and nervous systems) were explained by the anatomy learning comics. The learning comics were accompanied by humorous comic strips that introduce various episodes about anatomy. The individual systems were also elucidated by videos of surface models and sectioned images that were made from the cadavers. These videos also include annotations and commentaries aiding anatomy comprehension like the documentary films. For users to conveniently access the wanted contents, software with a simple menu was developed. This free software is operable directly on the homepage (anatomy.co.kr); otherwise, the software is downloadable from the same site to be run offline. The combined use of multimedia contents will hopefully promote the general population's interest in and knowledge of anatomy.
