Medical Art Gallery
Howell MediGraphics prepares case-specific medical and anatomical illustrations and full-color interpretations of diagnostic films that simply and accurately depict a patient's condition or injuries and any subsequent repair procedures. Relevant information is taken from medical records, physician notes, diagnostic test and radiology reports, X-ray, MRI and CT Scan films, and consultation with physicians.
These illustrations are designed primarily for use as visual aids or demonstrative evidence during a physician's testimony in order to educate both judge and jury, and to make the medical information more accessible. While illustrations can be composed of several views and images mounted on a 30"x40" trial size board, they can also consist of a single 8.5"x11" image... whatever is required to effectively get the point across. Smaller and sometimes simpler versions of the larger illustrations are increasingly prepared for mediations and pre-trial conferences, and often submitted with the first settlement demand.
