“…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).…”

“…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.

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.

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
