Medical illustrations are used in a wide range of industries, including hospitals, academic institutions, research centres, publishing companies, pharmaceuticals, law firms, media houses and advertising corporations. In fact, whether it is the government, a non-profit or a multinational, every institution has some use for medical illustrations for leaflets, brochures, posters, websites, presentation, journals, 3D models and films. Medical illustration requires collaboration with academicians, educators, scientists and doctors to create content related to education, medicine, scientific research and public health literacy.
One of the most innovative uses of medical illustration is in a courtroom where the use of complicated medical terminologies and concepts can confuse the jury. Use of medical illustration can convey medical or biological information and provide for clear communication when words alone are not adequate.
