Abstract
Surgical illustration plays a fundamental role in the surgical field, being able to convey imagery in a more comprehensive way. However, its utility has seen a decline and being slowly replaced by photographs and 3D models. Surgeons are in a unique position that is optimum for producing surgical illustrations due to having direct contact and possesses a deep knowledge of the subject being drawn. The process of producing an illustration may also be valuable to the long-term conceptual understanding of that surgeon. This article aims to highlight the field of surgical illustration, its future potential, and act as a guide for surgeons to start illustrating.
外科插图在外科领域发挥着重要作用,能够更全面地表达图像。然而,它的实用性已经下降,逐渐被照片和 3D 模型所取代。外科医生处于一个独特的位置,是制作外科插图的最佳人选,因为他们可以直接接触并深入了解所绘制的对象。制作插图的过程对外科医生长期的概念理解也很有价值。本文旨在强调外科插图领域及其未来潜力,并为外科医生开始绘制插图提供指导。
