The Journal of biocommunication最新文献

The Louis Schmidt Committee is pleased to announce that Danielle Edwards, BA, BAppSc (Hons), FBCA, RBI, FAIMBI, FIPT was selected as the 2020 Louis Schmidt Laureate. The Louis Schmidt Award, named for a founder and second President of the Association, is the highest honor presented by the BCA, and it is bestowed "for outstanding contributions to the progress of biocommunications." Danielle's extensive personal and professional accomplishments, both behind the lens, and in support of a plethora of professional organizations, illustrates her commitment to the unique quality and diversity of her work, as well as the active mentoring and sharing of a career's worth of highly specialized information.

In this column, we look back at the content and imagery found in the Journal of the Biological Photographic Association (JBPA), later renamed the Journal of Biological Photography (JBP). This column examines important articles and imagery from 25 years ago. In doing so, we gain some insight into those legacy photographic tools and techniques of that time.

Over the last several decades, medical imaging technologies have proven so anatomically insightful that they have all but taken over management in many clinical situations. MRI, CT, and PET scanning technologies employ stringently controlled rotational data-harvest protocols. By contrast, standardization of visible-light imaging of human anatomy has lagged dramatically. This article is the first to present a rigidly standardized rotational protocol to photographically record human anatomy and permit subsequent analysis with less than 2% image variance.

This JBC Showcase features the photographic imagery of Ted Kinsman, the 2019 Louis Schmidt Laureate. The Louis Schmidt Award, the highest given in the BCA, is named for BCA's second President. It is awarded annually for outstanding contributions to the progress of biological communications. The selection of the recipient each year is made by a committee composed of the nine most recent Louis Schmidt Award recipients.

On October 12, 2002, the first Images from Science (IFS) exhibition opened in the William Harris Gallery at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Professor Michael Peres and Professor Emeritus Andrew Davidhazy created the project with the intent of promoting a wider appreciation of scientific photography by showcasing beautiful, data-rich - but rarely seen - images drawn from oceanography, geology, biology, engineering, medicine, and physics in the traveling exhibition. The organizers of IFS 3 hoped to identify 75 examples of images that revealed science in new and unique ways. Similar to past IFS projects, they used the internet as the primary voice for promotion. Different than IFS 1 and 2, this exhibition features moving images, animations, and medical illustrations, as well as photographs. An international panel of seven experts from around the world selected 81 images. Creating an international exhibition on a tight budget created some unique challenges. The success of the exhibition required constant innovation and problem solving.

Medical photography can be both challenging and rewarding, particularly when faced with less than ideal situations and under pressure of time, environment, and clinicians' expectations. Clinical photographs are a scientific record, therefore, should be accurately focused, exposed and framed. They should fulfil the brief and illustrate the subject effectively. I will describe a photography technique that has been invaluable in the documentation and diagnosis of a rare clinical condition, (multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma) and in informing fellow clinicians of the visual appearance of disease.
