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 ]
Medical illustrations have been made possibly since the beginning of medicine [1] in any case for hundreds (or thousands) of years. Many illuminated manuscripts and Arabic scholarly treatises of the medieval period contained illustrations representing various anatomical systems (circulatory, nervous, urogenital), pathologies, or treatment methodologies.

Their flagship product, the BioDigital Human, is a "searchable, customizable map of the human body". [4] The BioDigital Human Platform has over a million users, [5] including doctors, medical students, and yoga instructors. [6] New York University School of Medicine has used the software to teach medical students about anatomy. [7] [8]
The 8-foot Anatomage tables at Jacksonville University offer doctoral occupational therapy students a high tech way to learn how the body works.
De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem (Latin, "On the Fabric of the Human Body in Seven Books") is a set of books on human anatomy written by Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) and published in 1543. It was a major advance in the history of anatomy over the long-dominant work of Galen , and presented itself as such.
The series was re-released in 2003 on DVD as Acland's DVD Atlas of Human Anatomy. The series uses unembalmed human specimens to illustrate anatomical structures. [3] Intended for use by medical, dental and medical science students, the video teaching aid uses simple language and high quality images.
VOXEL-MAN is the name of a set of computer programs for creation and visualization of three-dimensional digital models of the human body derived from cross-sectional images of computer tomography, magnetic resonance tomography or photography (e. g. the Visible Human Project). [1] It was developed at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.
