Aren computers replacing medical illustrators?
Quite the opposite is true. Granted, there are some areas of medical imaging that have been developed with computer technology and that don’t require the services of a medical illustrator. Most of these involve either diagnostic imaging or anatomical models, areas that represent a small portion of a medical illustrator’s role. On the other hand, the computer has provided many more venues and techniques for the field, and has contributed to the growth that is now occurring.
