2010 Generic Anatomy Colors for use with the Slicer3 Editor Module as a default color table for editing medical image data with no prior knowledge of the condition, modality, or specific anatomical region being displayed. When additional protocol knowledge is available (i.e. angiography of the brain) a different color table with more specific labels may be chosen.

Note: a mapping of the items in this table to SNOMED terminology is available here.
