I'm excited to share our groups most recent work published in Nature Scientific Data from the University of Denver's Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics.
The work provides an extensive dataset including three dimensional musculoskeletal anatomies of the Visible Human Male and Female lower extremities. Complete 3D musculoskeletal geometries were extracted from the National Libraries of Medicine Visible Human Female and Male cryosection images. Muscle, bone, cartilage, ligament, and fat from the pelvis to the ankle were digitized and exported in shareable formats and made available for download (Link Below). While a substantial amount of published work has been derived from the Visible Human Project, this is the first time a large number of musculoskeletal 3D geometries are being made available to the public including both male and female specimens.
The data are presented in various formats through the production timeline to accommodate a wide range of use cases. It is our hope that this dataset can provide value to interested researchers in the fields of biomedical engineering, modeling and simulation, and visual effects. You can find a link to the paper and dataset below.
