Pathology Illustrations

At the www.medical-artist.com art studio, we provide medical art and illustration of pathology - the diagnosis of disease. As a part of medical-artist.com and as the lead qualified medical artist, Joanna, is often asked to illustrate many types of disease, commissioned with the purpose to teach and educate. Her work can be found in teaching manuals, surgeon's papers, books, posters and leaflets and general patient education. Highlighting the cause, nature and effects of any type of disease.

Illustrating symptons of a disease is very useful, especially when they are used to illustrate sensitive topics. A medical artist can focus on what is importrant, enhance what needs to be shown, taking out any over the top gory detail hence allowing the viewer to look with interest and subsequently learn about the disease in a more engaging manner. It can be distressing looking at a photograph containing too much blood, graphic depictions of disease and many may look away. Therefore the purpose of medical illustration is to to encourage people to stop, look and learn instead.

You can contact the medical artist team any time to provide you with unique and engaging medical imagery.

More about Pathology and Medical Illustration

The role of the medical artist is to illustrate or create a visual picture of any type of disease, as part of patient education and care and Joanna is in the priviliged position to work within this area of science. Where the study, nature, effect and diagnosis of disease brings about better treatment and understanding, and is in fact one of the oldest medical disciplines. Underpinning all apects of medicine, pathology examines human organs and tissues, bodily fluids and even the whole body through autopsie.

The role of the pathologist in particular is to work with doctors to treat patients and guide their care, testing blood samples for example and alerting doctors to any changes in a patients health at an early stage, even advising when successful treatment is most likely. A pathologist will also set guidlines and standards for medical laboratory testing. They also conduct autopsies to investigate causes of death. Pathology is a core discipline of medical school and many pathologists are also teachers, all demonstrating how this area of medicine plays a key role.
