The Human Organ Atlas

We present the Human Organ Atlas (HOA), an open data repository making accessible multiscale 3D imaging of human organs. The repository also provides software tools and training resources enabling worldwide access, sharing, and analysis of these datasets, facilitating further research and the continued expansion of the HOA. The images are generated using a synchrotron imaging technique - Hierarchical Phase-Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT) that uses the ESRF's Extremely Brilliant Source, spanning whole organ imaging at around 20
