The Segmented Internal Organs of the Visible Human Male (SIO) are now available under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC BY). The license covers a wide range of educational, research, and commercial applications.
The SIO is a highly detailed 3D voxel model. It contains more than 200 anatomical objects of the torso and internal organs of a male human body. While this version comes as a set of TIFF images, conversion to DICOM in a standardized coordinate system is in preparation.
The dataset is part of the NCI Imaging Data Commons, a cloud-based repository that contains a large, harmonized collection of medical images. It provides an unparalleled wealth of data on both normal anatomy and pathological cases, also making it a prime resource for AI training in medical imaging.
The SIO dataset was developed at the former Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science in Medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. It was originally published under a proprietary license.
