Abstract

In a visually oriented field such as diagnostic radiology, illustrations, diagrams, and other types of art-work can complement verbal description and photographs, simplify the description of anatomic concepts, and add interest and aesthetic value to a presentation or manuscript. The vast potential of the microcomputer for creating high-quality art and graphics is being realized by the availability of high-level illustration programs running on fast computer systems. Advanced microcomputer applications for illustration have the tools to compose and execute drawings of virtually unlimited detail and complexity. Digitized images can be used as drawing templates or as components of finished art. Text is easily incorporated. Each individual element of a drawing can be changed or edited without altering other portions of the drawing. finished art can be output to laser-xerographic printers, film recorders, and photo imagesetters.
