Medical Animation in the News
Exciting News!
LifeHouse Productions was prominently featured in The Hartford Courant on the cover of the Life section in “Getting Under Our Skin: High-tech Medical Animators Creating New Body Of Work”, by William Weir, published Sunday, April 29, 2007 . You can read the story online but you won’t get the full effect nor see all the artwork which filled the front page of this section.
Linked to the article are two images you can view, reprinted from the article. One, a medical malpractice illustration depicting hemothorax, blood filling in around a lung and the other, a patient education illustration of three views of the eye, showing the anatomy inside and out. The artwork you can’t find online on the courant.com, The Hartford Courant’s website, is a dynamic illustration of a cut-away view of an arteriole. It reveals blood flow and some Trypanosoma cruzi, strange-looking worms. They are the parasites that cause Chagas Disease which affects tens of millions of people in Central and South America.
This news story quotes the department heads from two of the largest accredited graduate schools for medical animation; Scott Barrows of The University of Illinois at Chicago, UIC, program in Biomedical Visualization and Linda Wilson-Pauwels from The University of Toronto program in Biomedical Communications.
