title: [Improvement of specimen sectioning technique for Virtual Chinese Human study].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To improve the image quality of the specimen serial sections for establishing the Virtual Chinese Human dataset and to extend the durability of the milling tools.
  
  
  METHODS
  The image quality of the serial sections obtained by using tangential and radial indexable milling tools was compared.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compared with radial milling tools, tangential ones were more suitable for use in this study to ensure high-quality section image acquisition, showing the advantages such as high efficiency, long durability and low cost.
