Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools can produce graphical abstracts, but their scientific reliability has not been systematically evaluated. To assess the scientific quality of AI-generated graphical abstracts in respiratory medicine. This multicentre study included a pilot phase (5 abstracts; 15 graphical abstracts) and a main phase (20 abstracts; 60 graphical abstracts). 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). AI-generated graphical abstracts demonstrate moderate-to-high quality but remain heterogeneous across models. While promising as assistive tools, their use requires expert validation to ensure scientific accuracy and interpretative safety.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148876073","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. This study advances the field of health communication by operationalising the three imperatives of communication simultaneously within the context of science communication on TikTok.

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":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-25","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":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-23","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}

Participants were asked to view the illustrations and provide feedback regarding aesthetic preferences and accuracy, via an online survey. Twenty-five participants took part. Results were varied but demonstrated a small majority of participants preferred one of the Gen AI edited illustrations both overall and in terms of aesthetics and accuracy. In addition to the feedback survey, two anatomy lecturers were asked to rank each illustration out of five in terms of aesthetics, accuracy, and overall. The same Gen AI edited illustration came either joint first or second in all sections. However, in contrast to the survey, the human-made illustration was consistently ranked first or joint first. The difference in scores between the survey and anatomy lecturers suggests that the ability of the later to identify anatomical (in)accuracy influenced their decisions more strongly than stylistic preferences.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"38-51"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148654800","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}

Papilloedema, characterised by optic disc swelling secondary to raised intracranial pressure, is a neuro-ophthalmic emergency that can result in permanent visual loss if untreated, making early detection essential. This case report describes the unexpected identification of bilateral optic disc swelling in a clinical/ophthalmic photographer who volunteered as a model patient during optical coherence tomography (OCT) training. Despite being asymptomatic, imaging raised suspicion of papilloedema and prompted urgent same-day assessment. Grade 1 papilloedema was confirmed, and further investigation with MRI and lumbar puncture demonstrated raised intracranial pressure consistent with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). The patient was four months pregnant, requiring coordinated multidisciplinary care. Treatment with acetazolamide and close monitoring using serial OCT and fundus photography prevented progression and preserved vision. Imaging served not only as a diagnostic tool but also as an effective means of communicating disease status across specialties and to the patient. This case reflects the dual perspective of healthcare professional and patient, highlighting the value of routine ophthalmic imaging, rapid referral pathways, and the role of visual communication in modern medicine. Incidental imaging findings, even in low-risk settings, may be sight-saving and life-altering.","PeriodicalId":43868,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"33-37"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148457285","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}

Video characteristics (duration, resolution), engagement metrics (views, likes), and content quality were assessed using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Score, modified DISCERN, and an Anatomical Content Score. Statistical analyses were conducted using Jamovi 2.6.24.0. Results indicated that 44.8% of videos were created by anatomists, and 75.9% involved healthcare professionals. The most common format was animation (29.3%), while cadaver-based content was limited (12.1%). Videos presented by physicians achieved significantly higher GQS and modified DISCERN scores. Longer videos correlated with greater educational quality and user engagement. High-resolution videos showed higher view rates and Video Power Index, though resolution did not significantly affect quality scores. Overall, YouTube provides moderate-quality educational content on heart anatomy.
