The reconstruction and application of virtual Chinese human female
The virtual human is an interactive computer model integrating anatomical, biophysical, physiological and biomechanical characteristics of human being. The virtual Chinese human female number 1 (VCH-F1) is a high-resolution dataset of a standard Chinese female. This paper covers our 5-year work with VCH-F1 dataset. We will introduce the reconstruction of VCH-F1 three-dimensional (3D) model and our efforts to put this dataset into practical task such as the construction of the health sciences educational facilities, the research about the mechanism of acupuncture and the realization of virtual image-guided neurosurgery. Our experience with this work demonstrates a broad scope and variety of applications of VCH-F1 dataset in medicine and biology. Further works still need to be done to make this dataset a routine clinical tool.
