Anatomography is interactive website which supports generating anatomical diagrams and animations of human body. Anatomography website is maintained by DBCLS (Database Center for Life Science), non-profit research institute located at the University of Tokyo. Anatomical diagrams generated by Anatomography, and 3D polygon data used in the site (called BodyParts3D), is freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.[1]

Description

Anatomography was launched at Feb. 9, 2009.[2] Originator and chief director is Kousaku Okubo (大久保 公策), professor at DDBJ of National Institute of Genetics.

Human body polygon data used in the site is called "BodyParts3D".[3] BodyParts3D polygon data is extracted from whole human body MRI images. The whole human body MRI images which BodyParts3D is based on is "TARO" and "HANAKO".[4] "TARO" and "HANAKO" are 2mm * 2mm * 2mm voxel data of human male and female body, created by National Institute of Information and Communications Technology.[5] TARO and HANAKO were published freely at November, 2004.[6][7]

Diagrams from Anatomography is used, for example, Canadian science TV show Le code Chastenay,[8] Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia, lecture materials at universities, twitter, and so on.[9] Anatomography chooses Creative commons license. Its basic reason is to widen usage and to democratize medical knowledge. About usage of Anatomography on websites like Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, developers say "spreading of usages by anonymous users on like Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons is what we had expected."[9]

Some tutorial videos are available on YouTube.[10]
