After an elderly woman decided to donate her body to medicine, she befriended anatomist Dr Vic Spitzer – the man who would go on to dissect her. Vic, a pioneer in the field of digitising anatomy,was working with the Visible Human Project to create detailed, three dimensional views of the human body by slicing the body and photographing it. When Susan Potter heard about the project, she was intrigued and reached out to Vic insisting she take part in the project. It was the beginning of a fourteen year friendship that lasted until her death in 2015. Neal Razzell has the story. (Picture credit:.Eraxion/Getty Images.)
