3D Renderings after Leonardo da Vinci’s Anatomical Drawings

500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci’s famous anatomical drawings opened up a new era in the representation of human anatomy. His studies also provided the inspiration for the digital 3D renderings shown here, created from tomographic image stacks using the VOXEL-MAN 3D visualization system. Both versions show the anatomy in their very own aesthetic.

The skull sectioned (1489, RCIN 919057) | 2300 year old Egyptian mummy reconstructed from CT images (1989)
