BodyParts3D -- 3D Anatomy Structure Database
What you can do:
Find information about anatomical concepts in 3 dimensions.
Highlights:
- BodyParts3D is a dictionary-type database for anatomy in which anatomical concepts are represented by 3D structure data that specify corresponding segments of a 3D whole-body model for an adult human male.
- It encompasses morphological and geometrical knowledge in anatomy and complements ontological representation.
- BodyParts3D introduces a universal coordinate system in human anatomy, which may facilitate management of samples and data in biomedical research and clinical practice.
- 382 anatomical concepts, sufficient for mapping materials in most molecular medicine experiments, have been specified.
- Expansion of the dictionary by adding further segments and details to the whole-body model will continue in collaboration with clinical researchers until sufficient resolution and accuracy for most clinical application are achieved.
