The Visible Human Project "The Visible Human Project includes digitized photographic images for cryosectioning, digital images derived from computerized tomography and digital magnetic resonance images of cadavers."
The Visible Human Project Find a normal male and female cadaver Fresh CT & MR Fill blood vessels and cavities with contrast media Pose and stabilize in opaque gel Freeze the cadaver Cut cadaver into blocks Frozen CT Grind down block and take photograph
Infuse blood vessels and fill cavities with contrast media (resin)
