The origins of the US NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE "VISIBLE HUMAN PROJECT" is the logical introduction to any other kind of information.  In this one we speak about the ideas, the progress of the work and the announce of the dataset availability.

     Next the attention is put on the "VISIBLE HUMAN DATASET" CONSTRUCTION: THE GREATEST BIOIMAGES DATASET ON THE WORLD. In these pages we speak about the search for the VHD male and female candidate, the methods used to set up the cadavers for the photographs.  Difference between radiological, MRI, CT and RX images and fullcolor ones are explained. Single format of all these ones is noticed, to reach the goal to help users of data to visualize it correctly. For primer users, or learning purpose, some example of each kind of images, and possible applications, are given.

     An entire paragraph is dedicated to the "VISIBLE HUMAN DATASET" ACCESS POLICY. Inside it we have put all the information related to the freely availability of the datasets, and to the amministrative steps one must do before having a complete access to the original data.

     "VISIBLE HUMAN DATASET - MILANO MIRROR SITE^®" motivations, goals, technical choises, and services offered are then explored and explained. A request for having a feedback from users, with the goal to serve better the entire VHD community, is clearly put on this area. The purpose is also to try to investigate the works started or starting concerning the Visible Human data.

     The hypertext has been put on-line, for freely download, in a multilingual manner, to reach the goal to become a valid support for teachers and primer users, over the world. It could also become a brief reference for all VHD users.
