Abstract
In this paper, important virtual medicine research related to visible human data sets would be outlined. In particular, latest visible human related research carried out in the Visualization, Virtual Reality and Imaging Research Centre of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) will be discussed in detail, while related applications such as virtual acupuncture, virtual anatomy, and virtual orthopedics training briefly shaped our current and future research and development on visible human-related virtual medicine. Our latest advancement in segmentation, imaging, user-interface design as well as surgical education and training will be discussed.
