Database description | Dictionary-type database for anatomy in which anatomical concepts are represented by 3D structure data that specify corresponding segments of a three-dimensional whole-body model for an adult human male |
Features and manner of utilization of database | The biggest feature is that a three-dimensional whole-body model for an adult human male is available for free. The database is not only useful as an electronic atlas to three-dimensionally confirm the position and shape of human organ, but also useful in reusing the available data as the input data for human-body simulation and data mapping. A tool called "Anatomogram" is also made available to the public (http://lifesciencedb.jp/ag) to readily generate an anatomical image of human body by selecting body parts from BodyParts3D and setting desired viewpoint, zoom, color and opacity. |
