The Anatomical Division of NMHM is looking for volunteer(s) with experience in creating textured 3-D models using data from laser scans, CT, micro CT and photographs to assist the museum in developing digital images of pathological skeletal specimens for educational and research use.
The volunteer will work with museum staff to develop protocols and carry out all phases of work for 3-D digitization of skeletal specimens and ultimately produce a series of 3-D models using data from surface laser and CT scans. This work builds upon the initial phase of the museum's paleopathology and skeletal anatomy digitization project and will facilitate long-term planning for the project into the future in order to make this material available for the wider educational and research community. The volunteer will gain experience and exposure to the field of paleopathology by working with one of the world's largest skeletal pathology collections.

Description
The National Museum of Health and Medicine was established during the Civil War as the Army Medical Museum, a center for the collection of specimens and artifacts for research related to trauma and pathology. The museum's mission to preserve and explore the impact of military medicine spans more than 150 years and includes each major U.S. armed conflict. However, military medicine does not exist in a vacuum, and it is the museum's vision to preserve, inspire, and inform the history, research, and advancement of military as well as civilian medicine through world-class collections, digital technology, and public engagement. Visit the museum to learn about topics ranging from combat casualty care and traumatic brain injury, to the history of vaccine development and techniques in forensic identification.
The museum's exhibits and programs provide forums for both informal and structured learning that connect the mission of the Department of Defense museum with the public. The museum is a division of the Defense Health Agency Research and Engineering Directorate.
