About Emphysema Ilustrasi Sampul Éditorial

Ilustrasi konseptual ngeunaan bentang jero anu pinuh ku hawa kalayan jero galaksi, ngagambarkeun sesak napas anu disababkeun ku parobahan emfisema kana kantong hawa alveoli dina bayah. Témbok jero alveoli ruksak, ngabalukarkeun éta ngarecah sarta ngahiji ngawangun kantong hawa anu leuwih gedé jeung leuwih saeutik. Ieu nyiptakeun hiji rohangan hawa anu leuwih gedé tibatan seueur rohangan leutik. Alveoli anu sésa jadi gedé teu normal sarta ngagelembung, ogé ngurangan aréa permukaan pikeun pertukaran gas. Parobahan struktur jaringan kumulatif ieu ngabalukarkeun bayah jadi kurang elastis, sahingga hésé pikeun ngaluarkeun hawa kalayan éféktif.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: A conceptual illustration of an inner space landscape of emphysemic alveoli, highlighting collapsed bronchioles and damaged alveolar air sacs. The inner walls of the alveoli rupture and create enlarged air sacs, resulting in inefficient oxygen exchange and diminished respiration. Temple Health Lung Center is a national leader in diagnosing and treating lung disease. The Center desired a conceptual illustration of emphysemic changes in alveoli for marketing purposes.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 444.5 mm x Height 292.1 mm, 350 dpi, tiff
Tags: medical illustration, biomedical artist, visual science, emphysema
Production Technology: Created using Cinema 4D, a 3D modeling program, 3D models, and hand-painting in Photoshop, using a stylus and tablet on a Mac.
Design Challenge: The artist sought to create an air-filled inner landscape with galactic depth conveying the breathlessness that can come with emphysema.
Research: The artist reviewed bronchial anatomy and the pathophysiological changes of emphysema by studying radiological images and cat scan images to ensure accuracy. She then built a complex bronchiole tree using rendered 3D models, and hand-painted the structural alterations of the lung’s alveoli air sacs that occur in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of emphysema. As the walls of the alveoli become thin, they break down and merge, forming larger, fewer air sacs. This creates one larger air space instead of many small ones and reduces the surface area available for gas exchange. The remaining alveoli become abnormally large and inflated, further reducing the surface area for gas exchange. This cumulative structural change in the tissue causes the lungs to become less elastic, making it difficult to exhale air effectively.
Inspiration: Developing atmospheric perspective and depth of field was important to convey the inner space scene within the lungs. The image was created with a 3D software model and developed as an illustration in Photoshop.
Project Duration: The project was in development for two weeks at the artist's studio in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, USA.
Operation Flow: The work depicts a frozen moment in time reflecting the devastation of lung function wrought by emphysematic changes to the air sacs of the lungs.
