Hersch and his staff), in collaboration with the Geneva Hospitals and WDS Technologies SA, have developed a parallel image server to extract image slices of the Visible Human from any orientation. This 3D dataset originates from a prisoner sentenced to death who offered his body to science. The dead body was frozen and then cut and digitized into 1 mm horizontally spaced slices by the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda-Maryland and the University of Colorado, USA. The total volume of all slices represents a size of 13 Gbyte of data.}, comment = {Very cool. See also gennart:CAP, messerli:tomographic, messerli:jimage, messerli:thesis.} }
