Anatomography is an interactive website which supports generating anatomical diagrams and animations of the human body. The Anatomography website is maintained by the 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 on Feb. 9, 2009[2] by founder and chief director Kousaku Okubo (大久保 公策), professor of the DNA Data Bank of Japan at the National Institute of Genetics.

Human body polygon data used in the site is called "BodyParts3D".[3] BodyParts3D polygon data is extracted from full-body MRI images. The MRI images which BodyParts3D is based on is "TARO". Taro is common given name for males in Japanese, like John in English. TARO is 2mm * 2mm * 2mm voxel datasets of the human male created by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology.[4] TARO was published freely on November, 2004.[5][6]

Construction process of BodyParts3D is as follows.[3]

  • Phase 1: Additional anatomical segmentations were introduced in the original TARO data.
  • Phase 2: Then, missing details were supplemented and blurred contours were clarified using a 3D editing program by referring to textbooks,[7] atlases and mock-up models by medical illustrators.
  • Phase 3: Further segmentation and data modification will continue in collaboration with clinical researchers until sufficient concept coverage is achieved.

BodyParts3D polygon data is distributed in STL and VTK format. Full data size is 127MB(polygon reduced) or 521MB(high quality) in version 3.0.[8] The number of body parts (organs) registered in BodyParts3D is 1,523 at version 3.0.[7]

License

Anatomography is licensed under the Creative Commons license.[1] The reason for this is to widen usage and democratize medical knowledge.[9]

Funding

BodyPatrs3D/Anatomography project was funded by MEXT (Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) from FY2007 to FY2010.[10][11] Since FY2011 the project is funded by JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency).[11]

Reception

Diagrams from Anatomography are used, for example, in Canadian science TV show Le code Chastenay[12], Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia, lecture materials at universities, Twitter, and so on.[9] 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]

Version history

  • Version 1.0 (Feb. 9, 2009) [2]
  • Version 2.0 (Apr. 28, 2010)[13] The number of body parts is 1,324.[14]
  • Version 3.0 (Jun. 20, 2011) The number of body parts is 1,523.[7]
