Voxel-Man

VOXEL-MAN is the name of a set of computer programs for creation and visualization of three-dimensional digital models of the human body derived from cross-sectional images of computer tomography, magnetic resonance tomography or photography (e. g. the Visible Human Project).

[1] It was developed at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.

Applications include diagnostic imaging, digital anatomical atlases[2][3][4] and surgery simulators.

The name Voxel-Man is derived from the term voxel, the elementary cuboid component of a digital representation of a three-dimensional object ( a "three dimensional pixel").

Occasionally the name Voxel-Man is also used as a general term for a digital representation of the human body.
