Overview
The VHP Female 5.0 model is based exclusively on medical data collected for the US Library of Medicine’s Visible Human Project – a collection of extremely detailed (0.33 mm isotropic resolution, 8 bit color) and anatomically accurate data obtained from a female cadaver. The data includes magnetic resonance imagery (MRI), computed tomography (CT) imagery, and high-definition photographs of cross-sectional cryo-sections.​
​
Used by Fortune 500, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Stoxx 50 leaders on three continents to design and validate new medical devices and wearable technologies and improve existing products.
​
​It will be your essential tool for characterizing the response of the human body to a variety of electromagnetic, acoustic, mechanical and other external stimuli.

Validated
The VHP Female 5.0 underwent a thorough validation process in which the mesh surface cross-sections were laid over the original cryo-section images in every transverse plane (every 10 mm in the head, and every 25 mm in the body).
FDA Qualified MDDT
The VHP Female 5.0 model is a qualified Medical Device Development Tool (MDDT) categorized as a non-clinical assessment model (NAM) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
​
The model can predict the heating of tissues around metallic orthopedic implants when these implants are subjected to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields generated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coils (e.g. when a person undergoes an MRI scan).
​
These predictions can be used to generate parameters including the RF power deposition and induced temperature rise near passive metallic femoral intramedullary nails and screws (21 CFR 888.3020, product code HSB) as a function of implant geometry, location, material, and multiple scan times and cooling times.
