Title: Describe the Virtual Human Embryo.
Post by: kpennies on Feb 5, 2018
A new project called the Virtual Human Embryo is digitizing some of the 7,000 human embryos lost in miscarriages, which have been kept by the National Museum of Health and Medicine of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology since the 1880s. An embryo develops in 23 stages over the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. The project will include at least one embryo from each stage. The embryo will be sectioned and sliced. Each slice will be placed under a microscope, and digital images will be created. Users will be able to access the images on digital video disks (DVDs) and compact disks (CDs) and manipulate and study them.

The overall goal of the Virtual Human Embryo (VHE) project is to increase understanding of human embryology and to encourage study of human embryonic development by providing students and researchers with reliable resources for human embryo morphology. The VHE project has several components.The Virtual Human Embryo (VHE) Project generated nearly 34 gigabytes of embryonic imagery encompassing all 23 stages of the human embryo.These images were then reviewed and labeled by one of the leading embryologists of the last half century, and are now available to researchers and educators everywhere.
