Visible Korean Human (VKH) consisting of magnetic resonance, computer tomography, anatomic, and segmented images was created. In the VKH, several techniques were developed and numerous data were acquired. The VKH techniques mainly contributed to the generation of advanced segmented images, Visible Living Human, and Visible Mouse. Also, a software for viewing sectional anatomy, three dimensional images for virtual dissection and virtual endoscopy, was developed based on the VKH data distributed worldwide. The VKH technique and data are expected to promote development of other serially sectioned images and software, which are helpful in medical education and clinical practice.
