Scientific images can legitimize patient experiences and perceptions and convince doctors in the search for a diagnosis, treatment or cure. But they can also be deceptive messengers, generating new forms of epistemic uncertainty and increasing rates of misdiagnosis, unnecessary interventions and healthcare inequalities. In explicating this duality, the authors mobilize perspectives from visual studies of science, art history, science and technology studies, sociology and patient advocacy with historic, contemporary and original artworks and infographics. \u003ci\u003eBiomedical Visions\u003c\/i\u003e bridges epistemology, medicine and artistic practice to make sense both of how biomedicine looks and how we might look differently at biomedicine, in the past and in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3775760857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783775760850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hatje Cantz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Elizabeth Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425650753791,"sku":"9783775760850","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0e712e2-757f-479e-9fed-68f9ca12dc52.jpg?v=1761540682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biomedical-visions-elizabeth-hughes-9783775760850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
