W. J. Mitchell declared photography dead, or more precisely, radically and permanently displaced. Cameras have evolved from mechanical depicting devices into fully automated digital machines. Throughout the history of our profession, people have feared that new technology would threaten our livelihood. Yet, professional photography has consistently prevailed due to its unique artistic vision and technical expertise. It is not merely a job, but a craft that captures and preserves the essence of our world. That is why professional photography is not dead, but more relevant and necessary than ever. Marx foresaw a time when the issue would shift from reducing the necessary labour time to create surplus value to minimising the required labour of society. He optimistically claimed that 'The counterpart of this reduction is that all members of society can develop their education in the arts, sciences, etc., thanks to the free time available to all'. Are we really at a stage where photographers have become superfluous, spending their time in joy and merriment without any income? Is professional photography, as we know it, dead? I firmly believe it is not.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875812","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}

LBP PtDAs were identified using the Ottawa Health Research Institute (OHRI) PtDA database and PubMed. Three interdisciplinary reviewers assessed understandability and actionability using the Patient Educational Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT), with readability evaluated via the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level test. Six LBP PtDAs were found in the OHRI database and three in PubMed, for a total of nine. The mean PEMAT understandability score was 85%, while the mean PEMAT actionability was 68% (adequacy threshold for each section = 70%). Most used tables and scales (8/9), while fewer used pictographs (2/9), photographs (1/9), bar and pie charts (1/9), or illustrated diagrams (1/9). The mean reading level was Grade 5. Existing LBP PtDAs prioritise text over visuals and perform well on understandability and grade reading level, but less effectively on actionability. These findings highlight the need for interdisciplinary approaches to PtDA conceptualization, design, and evaluation to create tools that are relevant and impactful to patients and caregivers.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875813","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}

However, it is still unclear which specific types of visuals enhance understanding for particular audiences. The main goal of this study is to identify trends in how style features, namely levels of realism and detail, affect the understanding of medical illustrations by different target audiences. A systematic review was conducted, searching the following scientific literature databases: APA PsycNet, Biomedcentral, DOAJ, EBSCO, ERIC, JSTOR, Pubmed, Science Direct, and Semantic Scholar. Twenty-six original research articles published between 1986 and 2023 were identified, with half of the studies conducted in the USA and South Africa. The current body of evidence supports the idea that simple medical illustrations - both schematic and realistic - may be more easily understood by audiences, particularly lay audiences. Nevertheless, realistic, more detailed illustrations may be more appropriate for individuals with higher health literacy or for medical professionals. This review also compiles practical tips for illustrators and communicators to create effective visual materials, as well as considerations regarding the role of medical illustrators in developing effective medical illustrations.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"21-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081250","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 data collected from the results of the questionnaires were analysed.Results and conclusion: The results suggested that this teaching should form part of the teaching of veterinary anatomy in combination with other teaching resources. This teaching aid is most valuable and effective in learning anatomy, especially in virtual teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a combination of this sketch-based animation teaching and face-to-face classroom teaching was suggested as the best method by students. It is further recommended to impact students' retention power on the topics taught positively. The findings suggest that sketch-based animation interactive teaching aid is the current age method of teaching veterinary anatomy. This teaching module can be thus adopted for teaching veterinary anatomy to students, making it a more simple, enjoyable, and interactive experience.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":"48 2","pages":"69-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144800579","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}

This paper explores the capabilities of these models, specifically DALL-E 2, Midjourney 5, and Stable Diffusion 1.5, in generating anatomical images where accurate depiction is crucial rather than mere creativity. The study evaluates the learning extent of anatomical terminology and the anatomical accuracy of generated images by these models across three main categories: bones, organs, and muscles. Additionally, a comparison was made a year later using the advanced versions of two models, Midjourney 6 and DALL-E 3, which had been reported to show significant improvements in image quality over their previous versions. However, even with these improvements, we conclude that AI models cannot fully replace the expertise, communication skills, and creative judgement of professional medical illustrators. This study emphasises that using AI as a complementary tool can enhance the quality of anatomical and medical communications and education, and this approach helps predict the future impact on traditional medical illustration fields.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"44-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144128797","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}

This article reports a cross-cultural pattern recognition analysis involving two colour studies. Study 1 investigates the use of colours in mental health promotion posters displayed on Chinese and British university websites of Nanjing, Shenzhen, Edinburgh, and London. Computational methods, including K-means clustering and Euclidean distance metrics within the CIELAB colour space, were employed to analyse the 30 most prevalent colours used in the poster designs. The findings reveal that Chinese posters predominantly feature vibrant, warm colours, while British posters use a varied palette and favour cooler, muted tones. Study 2 explores similarities and differences in colour choices perceived as relevant for use in mental health posters by visual designers of the four cities. By offering a city-level comparison, the study uncovers nuanced distinctions in how regional contexts influence colour choices and shape visual trends with regard to mental health promotion. The results advocate for the integration of data-driven and human-centred insights into the understanding of colour choices to ensure that mental health promotion remains both visually engaging and perceptually relevant across diverse global audiences.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"52-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144310548","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}

This study explored third-year Anatomy students' perceptions of CM, guided by postgraduate Visual Arts students, to deepen their anatomical understanding. Using a qualitative, interpretive/constructivist design, the study examined the experiences of students in the Applied Anatomy module. It focused on CM's impact on knowledge acquisition, retention, and application while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between anatomy and arts education. Students, working in groups, created clay models of facial muscles, mentored by Visual Arts students, and completed reflective assignments using Gibbs' Reflective Cycle. Of the 20 students enrolled, 19 consented to have their reflective assignments analysed for this study. Thematic analysis identified two key themes: (1) Cognitive and Educational Benefits and (2) Collaborative and Interdisciplinary Learning. Students reported improved anatomical understanding, retention, and metacognitive awareness through CM's creative, hands-on approach. While some found it time-consuming, most valued its interdisciplinary aspect, emphasising teamwork, communication, and integration of artistic and scientific skills, despite workload challenges. Overall, CM proved beneficial in blending science, art, and teamwork, enhancing both educational and professional development skills.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"11-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144052689","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}
