A chronic need exists for anatomic drawings that are suitable for publication. The best drawings of this type are the result of close collaboration between a trained medical illustrator and the author commissioning the artwork. However, high-quality drawings usually command premium prices and are not within everyone's budget. Similarly, services that can provide such illustrations are not available in all areas. This paper describes several methods of producing high-quality anatomic drawings with a personal computer. These drawings can be produced from the digital images obtained on one's local CT or MR scanners, or from digitized slides and photographs. Other images can be scanned from various sources of anatomic line art that are in the public domain. A final source of anatomic drawings is commercially available medical clip art. The drawings created from any of these sources can be modified to suit one's needs and can provide very satisfactory results.
长期以来，一直需要适合出版的解剖图。这类最佳的图是经过专业训练的医学插图画家与委托创作插图的作者密切合作的成果。然而，高质量的图通常价格高昂，并非人人都能承受。同样，并非所有地区都能获得提供此类插图的服务。本文介绍了几种使用个人计算机制作高质量解剖图的方法。这些图可以从本地CT或MR扫描仪获取的数字图像制作，也可以从数字化的幻灯片和照片制作。其他图像可以从公共领域的各种解剖线条图来源进行扫描。解剖图的最后一个来源是商业可用的医学剪贴画。从这些来源中的任何一个创建的图都可以进行修改以满足个人需求，并能提供非常令人满意的结果。
