An Insight into Medical Art for Textbooks
Medical artists have been recording the wonders of the human anatomy for centuries. Examples even extend thousands of years into our history. Today medical illustrators are still used to interpret, create and record medical matter, turning it into visually appealing yet anatomically correct medical illustrations.
The medical artist is still popular amongst the publishing houses that write and print text books of all aspects of human anatomy and physiology. An artist is often a preferred method to a medical photographer for example, although all have their place. This is because a medical artist can neatly explain a surgical procedure by tidying the surrounding tissue, whilst focusing the viewer on what is important, they can illustrate the unseen areas within the body, they can add colour to tissue and illuminate complicated text into eye catching and informative illustrations.
A professional medical artist will have had anatomy training, and proof of credentials is shown as RMIP, Registered Medical Illustration Practitioner, and a member of the Medical Artists' Association of GB.
Whether a book is intended for a highly educated audience or for young children, the use of accurate and engaging medical illustrations can increase the reader's comprehension of the subject matter greatly. Not only that, but high quality illustrations and medical art can enhance the visual appeal of commercial books to the audience and therefore deliver a very good return on the investment in the medical illustrations.
