Radiology is used in art in a variety of ways, both by professional artists & those inspired to create art, by utilizing both pre-existent diagnostic images & images of everyday objects.  Radiology art enables us to explore our specialty in a creative light, & allows patients to relate to our specialty through media which are familiar to them.  The purposes of this exhibit are to raise awareness of how diagnostic images are used in art; to provide examples of how to use radiology images to create art; to show how using radiology as art allows patients to relate to our specialty; & to inspire radiologists to be creative with the tools which they have. 

Topics to be covered with illustrations include using old diagnostic images as the primary palate; the use of silhouette images; using animate objects other than humans as the medium; radiography of ordinary objects; turning diagnostic images into abstract art; neo-conceptual art - a profile of the artist Wim Delvoye; prenatal ultrasound as art; & creation of new art specifically for this exhibit from pre-existing diagnostic images, by an academic studio artist, to complement many of the principles demonstrated with radiology art previously created by others.  Examples of art from professional artists incorporating images into their art, e.g. Nick Veasey & Leslie Wright, will be shown.
