The authors explore the work of artists looking at the relationship between illness, identity, the brain and imagery produced by medical imaging technology. Digital images of the brain generated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology represent a powerful unveiling, making visible that which was invisible until the creation of the CT scanner and, shortly after, the more refined MRI technology. At the intersection of fine art and clinical medical images, the authors discover a resistance and a reshaping of the experience of illness. In their focus on the brain, illness and identity, the authors feature specific works of artists impacted by diseases of the brain and spinal cord, specifically Laura Ferguson, Katherine Sherwood, Marilène Oliver, Kelly Haydon, Darian Goldin Stahl and Elizabeth Jameson.

亲密的视觉：数字医学时代不完美身体的表现

作者探索了艺术家的作品，着眼于疾病、身份、大脑和医学成像技术产生的图像之间的关系。由磁共振成像 (MRI) 技术生成的大脑数字图像代表了一种强大的揭秘，使在创建 CT 扫描仪之前不可见的东西变得可见，不久之后，更精细的 MRI 技术出现了。在美术和临床医学图像的交汇处，作者发现了对疾病体验的抵抗和重塑。在他们对大脑、疾病和身份的关注中，作者展示了受大脑和脊髓疾病影响的艺术家的具体作品，特别是劳拉·弗格森、凯瑟琳·舍伍德、玛丽莲·奥利弗、凯利·海登、达里安·戈尔丁·斯塔尔和伊丽莎白·詹姆森。
