The model of the torso and internal organs of the Visible Human also makes it possible to simulate radiological examinations. Based on the local attenuation coefficients from CT, artificial X-ray images can be computed from any direction. The organs may be colored to show their appearance in the X-ray image. In this animation, the heart is highlighted in red, and the kidneys in green.
