Visual knowledge base
Neurosurgery Visual Atlas
A clinician-built visual knowledge base using AI-assisted medical illustration to explain how anatomy, mechanism, imaging, operative risk, and decision boundaries fit together.
- Format
- AI-assisted illustration
- Review
- Clinician reviewed
- Boundary
- Educational, not patient-specific
Initial series
Three clinical chains to build first.
Pages will open only after the illustration set, clinical narrative, references, and review record are complete. No placeholder medical imagery will be published.
Trigeminal neuralgia: when a blood vessel becomes a pain generator
Neurovascular conflict → MRI evidence → microvascular decompression → why vascular contact alone is not an indication for surgery.
- Mechanism
- MRI
- MVD
- Decision boundary
Intramedullary ependymoma: understanding the tumor–cord plane
MRI appearance → cleavage plane → white-matter displacement → DTI and D-wave context → the limit of safe resection.
- Tumor–cord interface
- DTI
- D-wave
Risk anatomy around the operative corridor
Focused visual explanations of structures such as the vertebral artery V3 segment, CPA neurovascular relationships, and D-wave signal meaning.
- V3 anatomy
- CPA
- IONM
Page architecture
What every Atlas page must answer.
The goal is not a gallery of attractive anatomy. Each sequence should clarify one clinical question from first mechanism to final boundary.
- 01Clinical question
Define the uncertainty in one sentence.
- 02Visual mechanism
Show the anatomy or pathology that drives it.
- 03Evidence
Connect the schematic to imaging, monitoring, or literature.
- 04Operative relevance
Explain what the visual changes in planning or risk.
- 05Decision boundary
State what cannot be inferred and when to defer.
Transparent by design
The image is only the first layer.
Every published page will carry an AI-use disclosure, clinical review status, figure-level captions, source references, version number, and last-reviewed date.
