Sources & limitations.

The ScrubHub Human Atlas is an exploratory anatomical reference preview. It is not a clinically reviewed ScrubHub lesson, a diagnostic tool, a patient-specific model, or a replacement for your program’s anatomy resources.

This viewer adapts Human Atlas by ashemag, pinned to revision 7a383d3ee2759e3ddf157c704fb8814fd0c50bcb. The original code is MIT-licensed, copyright © 2026 ashemag. Read the complete MIT license and upstream attribution record.

3D rendering uses ScrubHub’s existing Three.js 0.185.1 dependency, distributed under its MIT license.

What ScrubHub changed

ScrubHub adapted the interface and rendering integration to its existing website, added keyboard-accessible search and a non-3D directory, and split the geometry into on-demand visual layers. The upstream model already includes coordinate conversion, geometry simplification, and quantized normals. ScrubHub’s repacking is lossless: it does not independently recenter, rescale, or further simplify the parts.

The derived model data remains available under CC BY 4.0. The model manifest lists the downloadable parts and chunks; the provenance ledger records source and output hashes, licenses, and modifications. Credits do not imply endorsement by the original creators or publisher.

Before you study

Downloads & privacy

The searchable directory loads first. 3D starts only when you choose to open it. The initial skeleton geometry is about 4.7 MB; all layers total about 33 MB. A selected structure may need its entire containing chunk. The viewer uses your device’s graphics capability; on slower or unsupported devices, use the directory instead.

No AI model, paid API, microphone, camera, account, or patient information is needed by the Atlas. Viewed public assets may be cached by ScrubHub’s existing service worker; offline availability depends on what you loaded and the space your browser retains.
