The History of Medical Illustration
The History of Medical Illustration By WILLIAm E. LOECHEL, Director Medical Illustration Section Art Designers, Inc., Washington, D. C. RIMITIVE man, newly equipped with the knowledge of how to make and use fire ... and somehow aware that the wheel and the lever worked to his advantage, gave medical illustration its roughhewn beginning. These ancient artists were mighty hunters whose very survival depended upon their learning something of living machinery. On an ancient cavern wall in the southern part of Europe, amid utensils and the bones of his prey, some artist-hunter depicted an elephant in crude outline and in its chest delineated a vital spot ... the heart. He was aware that his arrows or spear worked more effectively here. On a wall of a Babylonian temple there is a carving of a wounded lion, with arrows lodged in his spine. The hind limbs which once had acted like spring steel to propel the beast are dragging stick-like; blood issues from his wounds, and from his nose, as one arrow apparently entered the lung; the forelimbs support him in his last agonizing movements. Here, too, some artist gave us a record of an animal in pain. These were precivilized artists and the time was roughly 75,000 years ago to 3,000 B.C. As the race prospered, there apparently was time for artistic endeavor. The subject matter was the one most familiar, hunting. Early Persian civilization produced crude biological drawings which were made principally as ornaments or portraiture on vases, columns, and tablets. The Chinese were prevented by both moral and civil law from dissecting bodies and consequently from making anatomical drawings. -

Art and Science in Visualization Victoria Interrante
Art and Science in Visualization Victoria Interrante 1 Introduction Visualization research and development involves the design, implementation and evaluation of techniques for creating images that facilitate the understanding of a set of data. The first step in this process, visualization design, involves defining an appropriate representational approach, determining the vision of what one wants to achieve. Implementation involves deriving the methods necessary to realize the intended results – developing the algorithms required to create the desired visual representation. Evaluation, or the objective assessment of the impact of specific characteristics of the visualization on application-relevant task performance, is useful not only to quantify the usefulness of a particular technique but, more powerfully, to provide insight into the means by which a technique achieves its success, thus contributing to the foundation of knowledge upon which we can draw to create yet more effective visualizations in the future. In this chapter, I will discuss the art and science of visualization design and evaluation, illustrated with case study examples from my research. For each application, I will describe how inspiration from art and insight from visual perception can provide guidance for the development of promising approaches to the targeted visualization problems. As appropriate I will include relevant details of the algorithms developed to achieve the referenced implementations, and where studies have been done, I will discuss their findings and the implications for future directions of work. 1.1 Seeking Inspiration for Visualization from Art and Design Visualization design, from the creation of specific effective visual representations for particular sets of data to the conceptualization of new, more effective paradigms for information representation in general, is a process that has the characteristics of both an art and a science. -

This response often elicits a look of confusion, along with the question, 'You're a what?"" This is the response often received by medical illustrator Monique Guilderson, after being asked the standard "What do you do for a living?" question. I think this one statement does an excellent job of summarizing the general public perception of the field. In fact, I myself would have responded the same way just a few years ago, but since I first came to realize that this is actually a career, I have become very interested. Looking back now, it seems very odd to me that I, along with many others I am sure, could remain completely oblivious to the existence of this career because examples of its products can be seen virtually everywhere. -
Art and Science: the Importance of Scientific Illustration in Veterinary Medicine
International Journal of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry 2021; 6(3): 30-33 ISSN: 2456-2912 VET 2021; 6(3): 30-33 © 2021 VET Art and science: The importance of scientific www.veterinarypaper.com Received: 19-02-2021 illustration in veterinary medicine Accepted: 21-03-2021 Andreia Garcês Andreia Garcês Inno – Serviços Especializados em Veterinária, R. Cândido de Sousa 15, 4710-300 Braga, DOI: https://doi.org/10.22271/veterinary.2021.v6.i3a.357 Portugal Abstract The importance of illustration in veterinary is usually overshadowed by its use in human medicine and forget. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize the importance of illustration in the development of veterinarian, as this is also a profession based on observation. Through history there are several examples of how illustration help to increase and share the knowledge in veterinary sciences. There is no doubt that illustration is an important tool in learning. That makes scientific illustration an important and irreplaceable tool, since they have the ability of takes scientific concepts, from the simplest to the complex, and bring it to life in an attractive and simplified way. Keywords: art, science, scientific illustration, veterinary medicine Introduction Biological illustration, has many branches being one of the medical illustrations. It is a form of illustration that helps to record and disseminate knowledge regarding medicine (e.g., anatomy, [1, 2] virology) . Usually, medical illustration is associated with human medicine, with the great anatomical illustrations of Da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius coming to mind [3, 4], but illustration also has an important role in veterinary medicine. Maybe, illustration has been used longer in veterinary than in human medicine but never is referenced its importance [3]. -
Anatomical Illustration Is Positioned at the Point Where Science Meets
Author: Nina Czegledy Description of Academic Affiliations: KMDI, University of Toronto Studio Arts, Concordia University, Montreal Moholy Nagy University of Art and Design Women at the threshold of art and medicine Key words: anatomical art, pioneer women, education, bio-medical tools In the beginning of the 20th century faith in progress and scientific discovery had a principal influence on scientists and artists. Revolutionary discoveries appeared in the sciences and in the arts a new awareness of a deep rootedness in nature and its processes became evident (1). As a result a conviction that a scientific spirit forms part of a new synthesis emerged in various disciplines (2) including a renewed interest and re-evaluation of scientific visualization (3). Scores of scientific discoveries, radical art activities and numerous technological inventions that we take for granted today, were drafted in this period. While major scientific discoveries such as the theory of quantum physics and the theory of relativity are dating from the first decade of the twentieth century – innovation and change was felt across all domains from economics to socio-political structures - including the first wave of feminism (4). Nevertheless it took decades to press forward for equal professional opportunities for women and even today a century later major discrepancies remain in vital professions. Key medical advances originating from Canada included the world’s first mobile transfusion unit developed Norman Bethune, Wilder Penfield’s surgical treatment of epilepsy in Montreal and most importantly the discovery of Insulin by Nobel prize winners Frederick Banting, Charles Best, JB Clip and JJR Macleod at the University of Toronto (5). -

The Intersection of Arts and Sciences
The Intersection of Arts and Sciences September 11th, 2012 Written by Elyssa Monzack, Postdoc at NIDCD, FelCom Career Development Subcommittee, with contributions from Pabak Sarkar, Postdoc at NIAAA, FelCom Career Development Subcommittee Felcom’s Career Development Seminar, “The Intersection of Arts and Sciences,” offered an opportunity for NIH Fellows to learn how to blend an interest in the arts with a scientific background from experts who have utilized their scientific skills to produce, render, explain and restore art. The first speaker was Mr. Wyatt Channell, who is a Senior Producer at Science Channel (part of Discovery Communications). Mr. Channell, who has a B.A. in English from the University of Maryland-College Park, began by noting that colleagues with Ph.D.s are scarce in the television industry, where being a compelling storyteller and communicating ideas in the most engaging way possible are the most valued qualities. Mr. Channell says that although he may not understand all the science, he understands enough to determine how to present scientific ideas to a general audience. To ensure factual accuracy, Discovery relies on the outside companies with which they work and contract to produce and ensure accuracy of the content, using vetted experts. Overall, Mr. Channell views his work not as artistry, but rather, the development of a commercial product to be consumed. The artistic component, he said, exists in presenting science and creating a story that is engaging and entertaining as well as informative. It came as a surprise to many in the audience that television networks like Discovery do not create their scientific programs in-house. -

77 Animating Bodies Flayed bodies posing amid ancient ruins. Fragmented, sculptural torsos with muscles removed and viscera exposed. Roman cuirasses stuffed with entrails. Sixteenth century anatomical illustrations thrust us into a borderland of art and science, past and present, death and life. Accustomed as we are to the de-contextualized cadavers of modern anatomical textbooks, these images, depicted as living, walking artifacts of antiquity, come as a shock. But in a world awash in the revival of classical culture, the credibility of Vesalius’s observational anatomy depended on the successful appropriation of classical authority. Placed in ruins or depicted as statuary, the cadaver was re-enlivened as an object that fused the worlds of empiricism and humanism, straddling the material present and an imagined past. The objects exhibited here – from the classicizing woodcuts of the Fasciculus Medicinae to Albrecht Dürer’s devices for creating perspectivally foreshortened portraits – allowed artists and anatomists to reinsert and reintegrate the body into the larger cultural and intellectual world of the sixteenth century. Imbued with the allure of the antique, the anatomical body could captivate universities and princely courts across Europe. It could speak, with a new eloquence and authority, about its mysteries, and in the process establish itself as a credible object of observation and study. 78 25.
