The Visible Human Project is an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body, in order to facilitate anatomy visualization applications. It is used as a tool for the progression of medical findings, in which these findings link anatomy to its audiences. [ 1 ]
Compton Gamma Ray Observatory being deployed from Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1991 in Earth orbit It was deployed to an altitude of 450 km on April 7, 1991, when it was first launched. [ 10 ] Over time the orbit decayed and needed re-boosting to prevent atmospheric entry sooner than desired. [ 10 ]
STS-112 (ISS assembly flight 9A) was an 11-day Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS) flown by Space Shuttle Atlantis. [1] Space Shuttle Atlantis was launched on 7 October 2002 at 19:45 UTC from the Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39B to deliver the 28,000 pound Starboard 1 (S1) truss segment to the Space Station.

The STS-114 mission was initially to be flown aboard the orbiter Atlantis, but NASA replaced it with Discovery after improperly installed gear was found in Atlantis' Rudder Speed Brake system. During OMM for Discovery, an actuator on the RSB system was found to be installed incorrectly. This created a fleet wide suspect condition.
Storefront display of Body Worlds exhibition in Amsterdam (2016). Body Worlds (German title: Körperwelten) is a traveling exposition of dissected human bodies, animals, and other anatomical structures of the body that have been preserved through the process of plastination.
uses ultrasound to produce images from within the body; video link: X-ray: uses X-rays to produce images of structures within the body; video link: Contrast media for X-rays: to provide a high contrast image of the details of the viscera under study; e.g. salts of heavy metals, gas like air, radio-opaque dyes, organic iodides, etc ...
"Metadata" (images only) – technical information about the file and the equipment used to create it (camera model etc.) Most images in Wikipedia articles are scaled down thumbnails. A reader of an article can click on the thumbnail, or on the small double-rectangle icon (if present) next to the caption, to see the corresponding file page and ...
Most radiation therapy is planned using the results of a 3D CT scan. A 3D scan largely presents a snapshot of the body at a particular point in time, however due to the time of the acquisition, in which the patient is likely to have moved in some way (even if only breathing), there will be an element of blurring or averaging in the 3D scan.
