Abstract
Through their craft, artists have long honed observation skills that have allowed them to depict human anatomy and pathology in great detail. In fact, artists’ depictions of abnormal findings may even predate the identification of pathologies by medical professionals. This article further expand on whether artists’ skills and their acumen for observation can be utilized by medical professionals to improve clinical diagnostic skills.
