title: Setting up and features of a database of images of plastinated materials.
abstract: A database of plastinated materials was set up and distributed with a CD-ROM on the Internet. A total of 197 specimens, prepared at the Medical Museum of the University of Tokyo between 1991 and 1995, were catalogued in the database on a personal computer with commercial and original software. The database was originally designed to catalogue anatomical specimens and drawings for curators and researchers, but it also services as a worldwide digital museum.
