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 on the website (called BodyParts3D), are freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.〔 ==Description== Anatomography was launched on Feb. 9, 2009〔(Release notes ) (in Japanese). DBCLS. Retrieved 2012-10-12.〕 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 are called "BodyParts3D". BodyParts3D polygon data are extracted from full-body MRI images. The MRI image set that BodyParts3D is based on is called "TARO". Taro is a common given name for males in Japanese, as John is in English. TARO is a 2mm * 2mm * 2mm voxel dataset of the human male created by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology. TARO was published freely on November, 2004.〔(日本人の数値人体モデルDB「TARO」と「HANAKO」公開 2004/11/10 ) (in Japanese). ITMedia.

Retrieved 2012-10-12.〕 The construction process of BodyParts3D is as follows.〔 *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, atlases,〔(BodyParts3D Release Note (Release 3.0, 2011/6/20) ) DBCLS. Retrieved 2012-10-15.〕 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 are distributed in the OBJ file format. The entire data file's size is 127 MB (polygon reduced) and 521 MB (high quality) as of version 3.0.〔(Download - BodyParts3D ) DBCLS. Retrieved 2012-10-15.〕 The number of body parts (organs) registered in BodyParts3D is 1,523 as of version 3.0.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anatomography」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
