ACL injury and MENISCUS tear
PATIENT LEAFLET ON ACL INJURY AND MENISCUS TEAR
Didactic illustration for medical professionals and their patients with ACL injury and meniscus tear. This leaflet helps doctor to explain to athletic patients on their injuries and how should they be treated.
Carotid Endarterectomy
Surgical illustration: Carotid Endarterectomy
Carotid Endarterectomy is a surgical procedure of removing the plaque from common carotid artery lateral to the neck. This piece of work showcases a single step of the procedure, where the plaque is exposed after the common carotid being cut. This artwork is targeted to surgeons with clarified anatomy, and provides a clear outlook of the surgical procedure steps, helping surgeons to learn with better visuals.
Superior Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis
Pathophysiology of Superior Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis (SSST)
The purpose of this illustration is to depict the pathophysiology of Superior Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis (SSST). On the left upper corner, a description is given as an introduction to the disease, including the epidemiology, pathogenesis and the prognosis. The sagittal view of the brain showing central venous system is introduced as a small image on the left lower corner. The larger image shows the brain, with the thrombus blocking the Superior Sagittal Sinus. The tissue cube sequence reveals the morphological changes of the Superior Sagittal Sinus and the surrounding tissues from normal to terminal stages when the thrombus is forming within the sinus. Small descriptions are added to describe the pathogenesis of every stage. This illustration helps educated lay audience to better understand the risk from having one of the rare form of stroke.
This piece of work is presented and displayed at the annual conference of Association of Medical Illustrators.

Zooplate: Sally lightfoot crab
Zooplate illustration: Sally lightfoot crab
The zooplate illustration is focusing on Sally Lightfoot Crab, a very unique creature populated on Galapagos Island and Central America. Several perspectives of this colorful creature are shown, including species and habitat, lifespan and conversation and morphology. The purpose of this illustration is to create as a zooplate purpose in local park and aquarium, but also a way to practice gradient mesh in Adobe Illustrator.
Mitral valve disease
INFOGRAPHIC: pathophysiology of Jumper's Knee
This infographic is showing the pathophysiology of Jumper's Knee (in medical term, patellar tendinopathy). The localization of the disorder is shown to give the audience a general idea. A detailed overlook in the cellular and tissue level is also illustrated to show the process from a normal tendon to Stage 1 to 3 tendinopathy.
Mitral valve disease
INFOGRAPHIC: Mitral valve disease
Mitral valve disease occurs when mitral valve, also called the atrioventricular valve, does not close properly. This causes blood flow in the opposite direction as it is supposed to be in the left chambers of the heart. Patients may experience fatigue, irregular heartbeat and shortness of breath. Comparisons of normal mitral valve and diseased valves are illustrated in this infographic to show the structural changes. The infographic shown will be one part of a patient leaflet.
