The Institute of Medical Informatics, Center for Experimental Medicine (former Department of Computer Science in Medicine, IMDM) at the university hospital of Hamburg Eppendorf developed a system for building computer based 3D models of human anatomy called "VOXEL-MAN". The very detailed inner organs model is based on the Visible-Human data obtained from photographical and computertomographical images of sectional anatomy. The anatomical simulations of longitudinal endoscopic ultrasound in this software are developed on the base of this model.
