Technische Bilder: Aspekte medizinischer Bildgestaltung

Author(s): Krewani, Angela

Abstract

From their inception on technologies of the visual media have been applied in medical contexts. Especially the x-ray technology adapted filmic representation. These filmic images exceeded the discipline towards their public screenings in the form of a spectacle. In the early twentieth century the x-ray films offered a well-known form of entertainment. Following on this the contemporary medical images in television shows such as CSI or REGENESIS can be considered as continuations of the earlier spectacular images. But the crossover effects work into two directions insofar as the public medical images have influenced scientific imaging as some examples from nanotechnology clearly display.
