Body Map

Anatomical maps for plotting in Python and JavaScript.

Contents

This repository contains a collection of "maps" that can be used for plotting anatomical regions.

Each map consists of:

  • An SVG image with each body region traced as a closed path and labeled with a unique, human-readable name.
  • A YAML tree of text labels for each body region, arranged hierarchically.

The top level of this repo contains a Python script to load the SVG and YAML files and assign colors to each labeled region.

Goals (WIP):

  • A Python library to load a map and vocabulary by name and generate a colorized plot, similar to a choropleth for a geographical map.
  • A JavaScript module and scaffolding to do the same, using D3, both in-browser and through node.
  • More detailed anatomical maps and structured vocabularies for plotting medical, especially dermatological, data.
