The 35th Annual IMI Conference was held at the Mickleover Court Hotel in Derby and, as has become standard practice, opened after lunch on Wednesday. The first session was chaired by IMI Chairman Carol Fleming who introduced Dr Susan Hill, the keynote speaker. Dr Hill had just taken up appointment as the Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) and gave the delegates an update on the Healthcare Scientists project as well as an insight into her philosophy as the CSO. Dr Hill’s presentation set the theme for the session and she was followed by Martin Johns who took us through the latest on consent and confidentiality. Next was Jane Tovey who did a short presentation about Standards Audits. Jane is involved in the IMI Standards Pilot Scheme and a number of departments have already put themselves forward to participate in an audit of their policies and procedures. Delegates were asked to take part in a short exercise to assess their own department policies. The results seemed sketchy and in some cases varied depending upon whether it was managers or staff at the coal face answering the questions. Madeleine Borg spoke on ‘Clinical Governance’, and David Bryson gave us an insight into ‘Learning together, Working together’ Finally Simon Brown gave a presentation entitled ‘Whither Medical Illustration?’ where he argued that we are in danger of becoming ‘jacks of all trades’. Thursday morning started with the ‘New Voices in Medical Illustration’. This session has now become one of the highlights of the scientific programme, consisting of ten-minute presentations, many drawn from the BSc students’ final projects. This year was a little disappointing in terms of numbers of papers, but not in terms of quality and variety of presentations. The first speaker, Carolyn Bray, focused her attentions on the topic of body mapping in clinical photography. This was of particular interest to departments that undertake this type of photography and was an account of how her department had set about examining their current practice and made changes based on customer feedback. Next was Sarah Murfin who spoke about her personal experience of pre-eclampsia and how health professionals can assist in the design of patient information. Peter Murray then continued the session with a talk about the ‘Comparison of quality schemes’. Kellie Pearson’s presentation was entitled ‘The second skeleton’, a look at the condition fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. The session was concluded by Norm Barker (not a ‘New Voice’ presentation) with an interesting and beautifully-illustrated talk about natural science photography. After coffee, Ed Bremner began the next plenary session with the topic of ‘Asset management’ during which he examined the importance of managing visual digital assets (image storage, databasing and retrieval).

It is neither original nor profound to suggest that electronic publishing offers healthcare professionals a fast and sophisticated medium for disseminating scientific research, not to mention the crucial healthcare advice, innovative practices and policy decisions which derive from research. Most scientific journals now exist in an electronic version, which in many cases is rather more than a simple copy of the printed version. Electronic publishing does more than allow access to research at the desktop: crucial advantages include the ease and speed with which the actions and responses of authors, referees and editors can be coordinated. Limitation of space need no longer be an excuse for delaying publication, nor for abridging research papers. There are also extravagant multimedia possibilities, e.g. see Vernon and Peckham’s paper on pp. 142–148. Nevertheless, it is far from clear that electronic publishing should simply make printed publication redundant. For example, absence of peer-reviewing is the reason most frequently cited by researchers for mistrusting electronic publishing. There is no requirement that any research, in whatever medium, be subject to peer review, but selfpublication via an Internet server is fundamentally cheaper and easier than in print. New and reliable protocols for publishing and researching via the Internet are being developed, but in the United Kingdom we remain more book-wise than Net-wise (albeit perhaps for the time being). The construction and maintenance of archives is also a significant issue. Printed publications may be problematic to store, but, from a researcher’s point-of-view, they can readily be obtained from libraries and related services such as inter-library loan. By contrast, publications on the Internet can be ephemeral. Cancelling a subscription to an electronic journals risks losing access to back-copies. Self-published documents may be susceptible to updating and even manipulation, but few Internet sites maintain archives, and indeed to do so may defeat their raison d’être. However, the most telling consideration is simply access. According to the UN, less than 1% of people in South Asia are online, even though they constitute one-fifth of the world’s population. Although the Internet has facilitated new and powerful ways of disseminating research, it has also generated a vast disparity between those it empowers and those it excludes. It is a sobering thought that less than 20% of the people of the world have ever used a telephone, let alone downloaded information from the web. Electronic publishing may be able to disseminate scientific research more quickly and more widely than ever before, but it cannot do so where access does not exist. Certainly we must not insist that electronic publishing should simply supersede printed publications – not unless we can be sure we are not eliminating an important alternative source of healthcare information.

This review considers image quality in the context of the evolving technology of image compression, and the effects image compression has on perceived quality. The concepts of lossless, perceptually lossless, and diagnostically lossless but lossy compression are described, as well as the possibility of segmented images, combining lossy compression with perceptually lossless regions of interest. The different requirements for diagnostic and training images are also discussed. The lack of established methods for image quality evaluation is highlighted and available methods discussed in the light of the information that may be inferred from them. Confounding variables are also identified. Areas requiring further research are illustrated, including differences in perceptual quality requirements for different image modalities, image regions, diagnostic subtleties, and tasks. It is argued that existing tools for measuring image quality need to be refined and new methods developed. The ultimate aim should be the development of standards for image quality evaluation which take into consideration both the task requirements of the images and the acceptability of the images to the users.

The National Museums of Scotland Mummy Project has provided important new information about a burial excavated in Egypt. This has resulted in the facial reconstruction of a woman who was probably a queen at Thebes ca. 1570-1520 BCE. There are strong suggestions from the grave goods and her diet that this woman may have been ethnically Nubian rather than Egyptian. However, it is not yet possible to establish her ethnic identity for sure, so a definitive reconstruction of her appearance in life remains elusive.

Within recent times medical illustration departments have been changed dramatically by computers and new working methods. For photographers and illustrators alike this has resulted in an overlap or 'blurring' of roles. This paper discusses typical core skills that cause this overlap and looks at the necessity for everyone within the profession to acquire them.

Three-dimensional models created using materials such as wax, bronze and ivory, have been used in the teaching of medicine for many centuries. Today, computer technology allows medical illustrators to create virtual three-dimensional medical models. This paper considers the benefits of using still and animated output from computer-generated models in the teaching of medicine, and examines how three-dimensional models are made.
