Construction of dataset for Virtual Chinese Male No.1
Abstract：Objective To establish digitized Virtual Chinese Human Male No. 1 (VCH-M1) image dataset with a 0.2-mm equalinterval. Methods The body of a 24-year-old male was used for this study. Perfusion with phenol and vermilion of the arterieswas performed, followed by body shape adjustment by cold saline and pre-embedding with broken ices in an upside-downposition, which was completed in a stepwise procedure to minimize body shape deformation. Section milling was conductedsubsequently with the section thickness of 2 mm and the section images were captured by digital camera, which wereimmediately transferred to a computer for storage and processing. Results A total of 9 232 sections were obtained for thewhole body, and the resolution of each of the image in TIF format was 3 024 ×2 016 pixels, resulting in the size ofapproximately 18 M for each image and about 161 G for the whole dataset. Conclusions Compared with VCH-F1, the imagequality in VCH-M 1 dataset is significantly improved, demonstrated by much clearer tissue boundary in the images and minimizedbody shape deformation during the embedding process.
