Poster Abstract
Scientific and medical visualization depicts how macroscopic and microscopic information are realized with images and animation; for specific and complex topics, which need translation and dissemination. The case studies investigated and visualized in this poster, focus on Neurology, Urology and Cell Biology (with the impact of pharmaceutics on the body through specific mechanisms of actions.) The audience for the visualization research varies from doctor to patient, science literate to the general audience. The purpose of this research is to create new methods of visual authorship (on diverse and complex health and science topics) with the goal of augmenting learning and comprehension by improving the representation of biomedical and health communications.
