Neck: Digital Cadaveric Cross-Sections from the Visible Human Female

The SPATIAL Project provides digital cadaveric cross-sections of an elderly female human body, reconstructed from The Visible Human female dataset courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine. The dataset includes 2.1 GB of files in JPEG, PDF, video, and DICOM formats, reflecting radiologic collimation. It was authored by Cailin Mellberg and last updated on May 15, 2026.

Use Cases

• Multi-planar interactive exploration of human anatomy based on DICOM files compatible with PACS software.
• Developing virtual reality (VR) medical training applications based on the 3D anatomical data.
• Creating educational materials for radiology based on cross-sectional images reflecting radiologic collimation.
• Conducting comparative anatomical studies based on the detailed cross-sectional planes of the neck and other body regions.

Strengths

• Includes 2.1 GB of data across multiple file formats (JPEG, PDF, MP4, ZIP, DICOM).
• Derived from the authoritative Visible Human female dataset from the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
• DICOM files enable real-time cadaveric multi-planar interactive exploration.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect the specific anatomical characteristics of a single elderly female donor.
