Abstract

We developed on interactive atlas system for accessing anatomical information from the complete 3D structure of the “living human” body, including 4D cardiac dynamics. The contents were reconstructed with 3D and 4D data sets obtained from normal volunteers. With this system, it is possible to produce a human atlas in which sectional images can be accessed from any part of the human body interactively by real-time imaging
