Abstract
    The University of Michigan (UM) Medical School has assembled a multidisciplinary team of investigators to plan and implement a Next Generation Internet (NGI) production system to interactively serve Visible Human (VH) image and knowledge data objects derived from arbitrary cut planes of full resolution, as well as datasets derived using image/knowledge fusion techniques. Delivered to standard user workstations, this interactive system would realize the "supercomputer on the desktop" capability of the NGI vision. In addition, anatomical data evaluation software will be provided to the user. A preliminary study for the evaluation of components for such a system was performed during a 24-month period. Data from this study and conclusions are presented.
