The “Visible Animal Project” (VAP) is comprised of axial anatomic cryosections and corresponding CT and MR images of a mature dog. The digital database is used for the creation of three‐dimensional computer graphics of canine anatomy. The technique of cryodissection is described in detail. The combining of the corresponding CT and MR images, and cryosections as well as the data processing for the creation of three‐dimensional reconstructions is presented and examples are shown. For the first time a complete high‐resolution three‐dimensional database of a dog is available, which can be used as the base for further high quality three‐dimensional reconstructions, similar to the “Visible Human Project” (VHP).
