Neuroscience Division of Biomedical Visualization
Neuroscience Division of Biomedical Visualization was created to support the teaching mission of surgeons at the Medical College of Georgia. Medical illustration has been a fundamental component of our department since 1959 when the department's first Chief, Dr. George C. Smith, hired MCG Medical Illustration Graduate Frances DeRoller as the first medical illustrator in the Department of Neurosurgery. Since, some of the most successful medical illustrators in the business have worked at MCG Neurosurgery.
As medical knowledge and surgical innovations continue to improve quality of life, medical illustrators will continue to play their part behind scenes, documenting and educating though fascinating imagery.
