Computer technology significantly impacted biomedical illustration in North America. This 1991 study surveyed professionals to assess changes in staffing, time, cost, and quality control for health science artwork.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Art & Illustration
  • Health Sciences Communication

Background:

  • The integration of computer technology into creative fields was rapidly evolving in the early 1990s.
  • Biomedical illustration is a critical component of health sciences communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To ascertain the adoption and impact of computer utilization trends in North American biomedical art and illustration.
  • To compare the perceptions of the Association of Medical Illustrators and the Association of Biomedical Communications Directors regarding computer technology's effects.

Main Methods:

  • A national survey was distributed in 1991 to members of the Association of Medical Illustrators and the Association of Biomedical Communications Directors.
  • 112 completed survey forms (25% response rate) were analyzed to compare the two professional groups.
