ABSTRACT

The incorporation of art with medical visualisation techniques offers a significant improvement in the communication of medical information. Traditional methods of medical illustration were primarily concerned with anatomical precision, but introducing artistic aspects can expand knowledge, increase emotional resonance, and produce more effective visual storytelling. This study investigates how artistic principles such as composition, colour theory, and dynamic symmetry can enhance the clarity and effectiveness of medical images. Medical visualisation can go beyond simple representation by combining scientific rigour and artistic flair, resulting in a more profound link between the spectator and the medical facts, which improves patient understanding, physician communication, and educational outcomes. Case studies are offered to demonstrate the multidisciplinary approach’s potential, as well as the obstacles and opportunities it brings for future research.
