ABSTRACT:
A personal anatomy card includes a card member and a machine-readable storage medium integrated in the card member. Machine-readable data including compressed data representative of a three-dimensional model of a portion of the individual is stored on the machine-readable storage medium. The three-dimensional model is formed by tomographically creating a plurality of two-dimensional cross-sectional images of a portion of the individual, processing the plurality of two-dimensional cross-sectional images to form data representative of the three-dimensional model, and compressing the data to form the compressed data. Optionally, a three-dimensional data player is integrated in the card member. The three-dimensional data player includes a display device, a user interface, and a processor. The processor is operative to decode the compressed data in dependence upon navigation instructions received by the user interface to command the display device to display a selected portion of the three-dimensional model.
