In 1995, the Visible Human Project (VHP) of the U.S. National Library of Medicine published a stack of 1878 photographic, transverse cross-sectional images of a a frozen male body, along with corresponding CT and MRI images. In contrast to radiological images, the photographs show the real colors of the human anatomy. These data were used to create 3D models and interactive 3D anatomical atlases of unprecedented detail and realism.
