Very interesting John,
I've come across high resolution human internal organ models in the past,
but they were never free and I didn't want to buy.
There's a makehuman freeware program that starts with a generic skin, and
with slidebars you ad geneder height, etc
https://sites.google.com/site/commutar/
- see humanoids in blender ray traces near the bottom of this page
If you could combine the two ideas, perhaps there could be slidebars to add
specific diseases.
The x3d v3.3 Component 41 Volume Rendering has a bit of an x-ray look to
it. If your internal organ model is all conventional 3D geometry, one idea
is to do a 'computational MRI' on the geometry to get the 3D volume pixels
for rendering with component 41.
Another permutation: use a conventional skin with volume rendering just for
energy (no visible organs).
-Doug

PS I'm getting more into energy myself lately - for sunshine aka 'passive
and semi-passive solar' and building envelope heat flows.

-- I need ray tracing or ?? to get shadows
