The research on digital visible human is of great significance and application value. The US Visible Human Project (VHP) created the first digital image data set of a complete human (one male and one female) in 1995. To promote a worldwide application-oriented VHR, more visible human data sets representative of different populations of the world are in demand. The Chinese Visible Human (CVH) male (created in Oct. 2002) and female (created in Feb. 2003) project achieved greater integrity of images, easier blood vessel identification, and were free of organic lesion. The most noteworthy technical advance of CVH Project was the construction of a low temperature laboratory, which contributed to the prevention of small structures (including teeth, concha nasalis, and articular cartilage) from falling off out of the milling surface. Thus, better integrity of images can be ensured. So far, we have achieved an acquisition of five CVH data sets and the corresponding volume visualization on PC. The 3D reconstruction of some organs or structures has been finished. The work of segmentation on a complete data set is still on-going.
数字可视人体研究具有重要意义和应用价值。美国可视人体计划（VHP）于1995年创建了首个完整人体（一男一女）的数字图像数据集。为推动全球面向应用的可视人体资源（VHR），需要更多代表世界不同人群的可视人体数据集。中国可视人体（CVH）男性（2002年10月创建）和女性（2003年2月创建）项目实现了更高的图像完整性、更易识别血管，且无器质性病变。CVH项目最值得注意的技术进步是建造了一个低温实验室，这有助于防止小结构（包括牙齿、鼻甲和关节软骨）从铣削表面脱落。因此，可以确保更好的图像完整性。到目前为止，我们已经获取了五个CVH数据集并在个人电脑上进行了相应的体可视化。一些器官或结构的三维重建已经完成。对完整数据集的分割工作仍在进行中。
