The National Library of Medicine is creating a digital atlas of the human body. This project, called the Visible Human, has already produced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and physical cross-sections of a human male cadaver. This paper describes a methodology and results for extracting surfaces from the Visible Male's CT data.
We use surface connectivity and isosurface extraction techniques to create polygonal models of the skin, bone, muscle and bowels. Early experiments with the physical cross-sections are also reported. There is a companion paper on the Visible Woman. Make Your Own Visible Woman shows how to use the Visualization Toolkit to make and render surface models of the Visible Woman. For more examples of 3D medical imaging done in our laboratory go to our Scientific Movie Library.
