The Atlas works best on a computer. Rotating and inspecting thousands of small pieces is difficult on a phone; use a computer for detailed study.

The Atlas loads when you reach the model.

Scope of use

Reference material for research and education. Not for diagnosis, treatment, surgical planning or procedural guidance.

CT images are rebuilt from the source volume in radiological convention (patient right on image left), corrected to millimetre proportions, with two presentation windows: soft tissue (W400/L50) and bone (W2000/L400). They are learning images, not diagnostic studies.
