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":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","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 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":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","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}

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":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","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}

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":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","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}

ASPS guidelines outline strict standards, but advancements in technology, particularly smartphones, may have influenced adherence. This study evaluates adherence to photographic standards in breast and face photography from 2000 to 2020 in major plastic surgery journals. A total of 1,752 articles from three major plastic surgery journals in the years 2000 and 2020 were reviewed. Breast photographs were assessed based on patient positioning, arm positioning, background, clothing, and jewellery/watches, and framing, while face photographs included camera angle, patient positioning, background, clothing, makeup, hairdo, mimic, jewellery, and framing. Two independent reviewers scored adherence using a binary scale, with interrater reliability assessed via Cohen's kappa. Trends were analysed using least square means and paired t-tests (p < 0.05). Among 504 photographs, only 11.9% met all standards. Significant declines were observed in clothing (p < 0.001) and jewellery/watches (p < 0.001) for breast photography, and in photographic sectioning for face photography (p = 0.002). Improvements were noted in posing (p < 0.001), hairdo (p = 0.028), and framing for breast photography (p = 0.015). Adherence to photographic standards has declined in key areas, underscoring the need for reinforced training and technology-driven solutions to ensure professional documentation.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144064582","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}

Detection, assessment, and removal of polyps has a major role in bowel cancer prevention and is an important part of bowel cancer screening programmes. Trainee colonoscopists must acquire skills to recognise and classify colorectal polyps. Accurate classification is based on morphology, surface pit and capillary patterns. It is difficult to teach assessment skills because static polyp images are often of poor quality and cannot show all areas of interest. Based on anonymised, endoscopic reference images, 3D polyp models were created in ZBrush, demonstrating a variety of morphological forms. The models had detailed pit patterns to show the capillary structure, a key predictor of pathology. The models were subsequently uploaded to the online 3D repository and model viewer, Sketchfab, to create an interactive training resource for trainee colonoscopists. The digital models were evaluated by a panel of expert colonoscopists who scored them for realism and potential as aids for training. There was agreement that the digital polyp models would be useful for teaching. Polyp morphology was rated as realistic however representation of pit patterns received a mixed response, highlighting areas for further development.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"119-135"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812662","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}
