In this project, we collaborated with Dr. Changchun Pan to produce a series of illustrations for their novel unique radiological classification of midbrain pilocytic astrocytomas. Dr. Pan’s primary challenge lies in effectively communicating the complex anatomy seen in this pathological condition, where their main visual evidence are MRI scans.
Our objective was to create custom illustrations that bridge this gap, enabling Dr. Pan’s team to communicate the 3D form of these lesions clearly. Given the complexity of neuroanatomy, we conducted thorough research using different brain atlases and radiological images in our creative process. Through these visuals, we aim to enhance the understanding of midbrain pilocytic astrocytomas and contribute to advancing the field of neurosurgery.
