Description

Ostherr's ambitious book explores 120 years of medical image-making to explain how visual representations came to play a central role in medical education and practice. She demonstrates how medical images created by the healthcare industry, documentary filmmakers, experimental artists and the mass media acquire cultural meaning and influence, shaping professional and popular understandings of health and disease.
