Transgender patients that have undergone metoidioplasty with urethral lengthening may face challenges in healthcare settings that necessitate urinary catheterization. Currently, there are no readily accessible resources that aim to inform nurses about the appearance and treatment of this anatomy. Here, a 3D animation has been created, showing labelled comparative anatomy. Evaluation of this animation will result in valuable feedback of which video elements have facilitated successful learning. Implications for this project call attention to the need for gender-diverse representation within urinary catheterization and healthcare in the United States.

Kidneys produce and transport urine using an extensive system of blood vessels and a series of tubular structures. Many of these anatomical structures are visible during dissection with the unaided eye or low-power magnification. In this paper we survey the variety of ways gross anatomy of the human kidney has been illustrated in past centuries. These examples demonstrate alternatives to depicting a frontal section of the kidney, a view that is commonly used in contemporary illustrations but provides limited information about the morphology and organization of internal kidney anatomy.

This Journal of Biocommunication Gallery features a selection of the award-winning imagery from the Association of Medical Illustrators' 2025 Salon exhibition. The illustrations, interactive content, and motion media featured here were exhibited at AMI's annual meeting held July 16-19, 2025 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Each year the AMI Salon exhibition features extraordinary medical illustration, 3D models, books, and media from AMI members and medical illustration students. The entries depict anatomy, surgical procedures, molecular structure, medical research, genetics, bio-pharma concepts, animation, and interactive media. AMI members have the opportunity to exhibit their work in either the Professional or Student categories, which then are further divided into categories such as instructional, editorial, advertising, medical-legal, animation, and interactive media. While we are only featuring the Professional Category winners in this Gallery, we congratulate the Student Category award winners as well.

BioImages is the BioCommunications Association's annual visual media competition intended to showcase the finest still photography, graphics, illustrations, and motion media work in the life sciences and medicine. Entries for BCA's 2025 Salon were evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges based on the work's intent, execution, design, and overall impact.

This Journal of Biocommunication Gallery features a selection of the Best of Show Winners from 10 years of BioImages. We have selected the winning entries of the last decade to showcase the variety, breadth and depth of work in these award-winning images. BioImages is the BioCommunications Association's annual visual media competition that showcases the finest still, graphics and motion media work in the life sciences and medicine. Entries are evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges based on intent, execution, design and impact. In 2021 a new judging procedure was developed and implemented, award names and categories were changed. Prior to 2021 the top awards were the Best of Show, Award of Excellence and Citation of Merit plus the Special Awards.
