The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) is a comprehensive ontology for anatomical structures in the human body. It is designed to provide a consistent framework for the representation of anatomical knowledge and to support a wide range of applications in biomedical informatics.
Overview[edit]
The FMA is a reference ontology that covers the entire domain of human anatomy. It is structured as a directed acyclic graph, where nodes represent anatomical entities and edges represent relationships between these entities. The FMA includes over 75,000 anatomical concepts and over 120,000 relationships, making it one of the most detailed anatomical ontologies available.
History[edit]
The development of the FMA began in the late 1990s at the University of Washington under the leadership of Dr. Cornelius Rosse. The project was initiated to address the need for a comprehensive and consistent representation of anatomical knowledge that could be used in a variety of biomedical applications.
Structure[edit]
The FMA is organized into four main components:
- Anatomical Entities: These are the basic building blocks of the ontology, representing physical anatomical structures such as organs, tissues, and cells.
- Anatomical Relationships: These define how anatomical entities are related to one another, such as part-whole relationships and spatial relationships.
- Anatomical Attributes: These provide additional information about anatomical entities, such as their size, shape, and function.
- Anatomical Systems: These group related anatomical entities into larger functional units, such as the circulatory system or the nervous system.
Applications[edit]
The FMA is used in a variety of applications, including:
- Medical education: Providing a structured framework for teaching anatomy.
- Clinical decision support: Enhancing the accuracy of medical diagnoses and treatment plans.
- Biomedical research: Facilitating the integration and analysis of anatomical data from different sources.
