Building on our previously published research, we aimed to explore how a research-derived 3D printed colon model could function as an alternative visual communication tool to raise public awareness of colorectal cancer (CRC), screening, and interdisciplinary medical careers. A 3D colon model was modelled in ZBrush, and previously validated 3D digital polyp models were embedded within the colon lumen. The colon was segmented so that the model could be 3D printed in parts and connected with embedded magnets, allowing for the model to be broken down into parts to increase educational interactions. The model was 3D printed in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to permit flexibility. It was exhibited at the Museum of Liverpool during the British Science Festival 2025 as an interactive engagement artefact, and facilitated conversations around colorectal anatomy and polyp development, and cancer prevention and screening pathways. Its tactile and visual realism encouraged hands-on exploration and cross-generational engagement. We propose that the use of physical 3D printed colon and polyp models for clinical training can be used as powerful public health communication artefacts.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149185004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For each text abstract, three graphical abstracts were generated via ChatGPT (version 5.2), Claude Sonnet (version 4.5), and Gemini (version 3), using a standardised prompt. Six experts evaluated each graphical abstract using a 7-item scoring grid (total score/28). Inter-rater reliability and comparisons between models were assessed.The median total score was 21 [16-25]. Single-measure intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) indicated moderate agreement for the total score (ICC = 0.606), while average-measure ICC showed excellent reliability (ICC = 0.902). Significant differences were observed between models (p < 0.001), with a consistent ranking of Claude > ChatGPT > Gemini. Differences were observed across all evaluation criteria, with large effect sizes (Kendall's W up to 0.93).

While anatomical images remain central to education, research, and patient communication, the individuals whose bodies were rendered into these illustrations have rarely been acknowledged. Historically, anatomists relied on bodies from executions, prisons, workhouses, and grave robbing. Legislation such as the Murder Act of 1752 and the Anatomy Act of 1832 disproportionately targeted marginalised populations, many of whom did not consent to dissection, let alone to the creation of enduring visual artefacts. Despite the emergence of ethical body donation programmes in the twentieth century, many foundational anatomical images still used today originate from these coercive contexts. Contemporary UK anatomical practice, governed by the Human Tissue Act, requires explicit consent for dissection and imaging. Yet historical illustrations remain widely circulated, particularly online, often without contextualisation. Some images derive from even more troubling sources, including violence and genocide. This article examines the ethical implications of continued use, highlighting gaps in governance and advocating for contextualisation, diversification, and the development of ethically sourced alternatives. Anatomical illustrations are not neutral diagrams but visual legacies of power; acknowledging their histories supports respectful and inclusive anatomical education.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"97-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149025664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cerebellum is a region of the brain that is convoluted and intricately folded and it can be challenging to connect two-dimensional coronal or sagittal planes of section to the wholemount structure. This can be further complicated by anatomical variation among different species. Microscopy can be prohibitive with respect to equipment, skills and slide quality and preservation and a lack of detailed atlases of the embryonic chick brain compounds the difficulty of learning the anatomy of the pre-hatch avian cerebellum. To our knowledge, using hand-drawn graphite sketches to explore and learn about an embryonic cerebellum is a novel approach. Our initial findings suggest that using art to understand the organisation and structure of the avian cerebellum has the potential to be an effective and beneficial approach for students learning neuroanatomy.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"64-73"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148018025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although child-friendly visual environments are widely implemented, there is limited empirical evidence on whether passive Environmental Graphic Design (EGD) effectively supports children's engagement and emotional regulation during real waiting situations. This study examines how different environmental graphic communication strategies shape children's observable behavioural and affective responses in paediatric waiting areas. A comparative qualitative case-study approach was conducted in two Indonesian hospitals, comparing waiting environments dominated by passive EGD elements (Hospitals X and Y). Direct behavioural and affective observations were carried out with total of 43 children aged 2-9 years. Behavioural indicators included movement patterns, interaction with environmental elements, screen engagement, and social play, while affective indicators included visible expressions of calmness, enjoyment, restlessness, and distress. Findings show that passive EGD environments have minimal physical interaction; children remained caregiver-centered and frequently exhibited disengagement. In contrast, the interactive play-based environment supported sustained engagement, increased movement and peer interaction, and more positive affective responses. These results suggest that passive EGD contributes to the visual atmosphere of paediatric waiting areas, with limited impact on children's behavioural and affective responses, whereas interactive, play-based graphic environments are more effective.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"53-63"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148007083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design of the videos incorporated the three fundamental elements of communication: credibility, legitimacy and audience engagement. Subsequently, at the Centre for Complexity Sciences (UNAM), we conducted an exploratory study to evaluate the effectiveness of one of the videos in communicating scientific information and to assess audience perceptions of it.
