The Visible Human data set generated by the University of Colorado and the National Library of Medicine provides sets of highly detailed cross-sectional images of the human body, which perfectly fit to the VOXEL-MAN atlas framework.

The Visible Human Dataset contained the images of a 39-year old convicted murderer who, prior to his execution, donated his corpse to medical science. The dataset was subsequently expanded with the addition of the images of a female at greater resolution than for the male.

The digital brain atlas of the vervet monkey was developed with images obtained by cryosectioning. The head was sectioned in the coronal plane and a digital image was taken every 300 microns. These images were aligned and placed together in a volume with 512 pixels representing 68.7 mm in all three dimensions.

What is the difference between these two images ethically?

Physiological understanding of the brain: how far has biotechnology allowed us to pictorially create the workings of the brain?
