3D Model Creation from the Carnegie Human Embryo Collection

This scientific poster showcases summer research project at National Library of Medicine (NLM) , National Institute of Health (NIH) and was exhibited at 2018 Summer Poster Day at NIH, Bethesda, MD, U.S.A. This project utilizes scanned histological sections of human embryos from the Carnegie Collection. The general principles of model creation remain the same as from other medical imaging formats, however, lower section resolution and distortion of the anatomy with tissue processing techniques presented unique challenges.

This research was supported in part by an appointment to the National Library of Medicine Research Participation Program. This program is administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education through an interagency agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.
