Computer utilization trends in biomedical illustration.
A national study was designed to determine computer utilization trends in biomedical art and illustration in North America. In the fall of 1991, 453 surveys were mailed to the Association of Medical Illustrators and the Association of Biomedical Communications Directors; 112 (25%) completed survey forms were returned. The survey compares similarities and differences between the groups with regard to the impact (e.g., staffing, time, cost, and quality control) of computer technology (e.g., hardware, software) on biomedical artwork in the health sciences.
