This page contains a number of videos created with the Voxel-Man visualization system. Although originally produced in digital format, these videos were copied from Betacam tape.

Reanimating the Visible Human (1997)

Reanimating the Visible HumanThis video shows the work done with the Visible Human data between 1995 and 1997 [1-3]. It was presented at the Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen in 1998.

Authors: Karl Heinz Höhne, Bernhard Pflesser, Andreas Pommert, Kay Priesmeyer, Martin Riemer, Thomas Schiemann, Rainer Schubert, Ulf Tiede

Professor Röntgen Meets the Virtual Body (1994)

Professor Roentgen meets the Virtual BodyThis fully computer-generated video takes a look at the past and future of medical imaging. It was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, and first shown at the Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in 1994 [4]. The video was awarded the 1995 Video Prize of the German Radiological Society (Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft).

Visualizing the Human Body (1993)

Visualizing the Human BodyThis video shows the early pioneering work of 3D reconstruction from CT and MRI performed in the years 1986-1991. Highlights include the first complete 3D reconstruction of the human brain (1987) and the beating heart (1988) from MRI data.
