medical illustration of This illustration highlights the occupational risks faced by healthcare professionals working in fluoroscopic laboratories. Prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation places clinicians at increased risk for cancer, cataracts, and reproductive health concerns. In addition, the long-term use of heavy lead aprons—while essential for radiation protection—contributes to chronic orthopedic strain and musculoskeletal injury.
medical illustration of This medical illustration presents the vascular anatomy of the upper extremity with detailed insets highlighting common arteriovenous (AV) fistula configurations and surgically transposed vessels used to establish hemodialysis access. The primary image depicts the arterial and venous structures of the arm in anatomical context, while enlarged inset panels demonstrate specific fistula locations and vessel transpositions with precision and clarity.
medical illustration of This five-step illustration of lupus cell therapy visually explains the process of immune cell collection, modification, and reinfusion to treat autoimmune disease. Designed for clarity and accuracy, it transforms complex immunology into an accessible and engaging visual.
medical illustration of This illustration highlights a catheter insertion site in the chest, emphasizing both anatomical accuracy and infection prevention strategy. The catheter is shown entering the skin and advancing into the underlying vasculature, with careful attention to surrounding tissue layers and placement. At the point of entry, a specialized antimicrobial gel is applied over the skin surface, demonstrating its role as a protective barrier against bacterial contamination.
medical illustration of This medical illustration depicts a drainage catheter positioned within the peritoneal cavity for the treatment of ascites. Key abdominal anatomy is shown in context, with fluid accumulation clearly visualized within the abdominal cavity to demonstrate the pathological condition. The illustration highlights catheter placement relative to surrounding structures, helping convey both the clinical purpose of the device and the anatomical environment in which it functions.
medical illustration of A TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for portal hypertension, a condition where blood pressure in the portal vein is abnormally high, often due to liver disease.

medical illustration of After the creation of an A-V fistula, blood flow circulates down the veins to revascularize the toes and foot and creating collateral vessels.
medical illustration of Infographic of a tree and root system is a representation of psoriatic disease as an immune-mediated inflammatory disease with underlying systemic inflammation contributing to various comorbidities, including hidden in the roots, cardiovascular disease, obesity, mental health conditions and psoriatic arthritis.
medical illustration of Various research journal cover illustrations supporting articles.
medical illustration of Illustration depicting the relationship of salivary glands, facial arteries and veins.
medical illustration of Illustration depicting the relationship of salivary glands and muscles.
medical illustration of Liver tumor injection of a substance to cause an antibody response to activate T-cells and attack cancer cells.
medical illustration of This medical illustration depicts a patient with ascites undergoing a paracentesis procedure to drain excess fluid from the peritoneal cavity. The image highlights relevant abdominal anatomy and fluid accumulation, while focusing on the specialized drainage catheter. The catheter features a unique safety tip that allows the needle to extend upon contact for controlled access, then automatically retract without tension, reducing the risk of tissue injury.
