"We have photos. We have video. Why do we need a medical illustrator?"


  • In spite of the wonders of image-capturing technology such as CT, MRI and video, there is still much that just cannot be said with these technologies. For example:
    • Can your surgical procedure be videotaped if the surgeon's hands are in the way?
    • Is your visual field is messy or irrelevant to the topic to be explained?
    • Are your video images from a laparoscopic procedure, with such a limited field of view, disorienting?
    • Does your series of still images not explain the transformation?
    • Your patients can't figure out what they're looking at?
  • A skilled medical illustrator — with knowledge of normal anatomy, pathology, procedure, instrumentation, visualization skills, and pedagogy — will create a succinct visual representation of a precise concept. A good illustration conveys the idea in ways the text, photograph or raw data alone never could.
