Scientists have created a new way of digitizing the human body - a process that involves cutting the body into 5,000 slices, according to the Telegraph.
Since 1986, the U.S. National Library of Medicine has been working toward making the human body digital and has now established the Visible Human Project.
The group's project took an anonymous 59-year-old woman who died of a heart attack and sliced her body into thousands of pieces measuring one-third of a millimeter, according to the Mirror.
The images were scanned into a computer to create the elaborate 3-D rendering of her body digitally.
"They have ten times as much information as you'd get from an MRI scan," said Dr. Fernando Bello from the Imperial College-London. "It means the team will have much more information about organs and their structuring."
The update in technology has allowed the group to create the smaller slices, which have resulted in far greater detail.
Though originally, the model was used for experiments and researchers, the new and innovative model is open to the public and available for viewing online.
The woman's model is the most detailed "reconstruction of a whole human body ever to be pieced together," according to New Scientist.
