  This paper will de­scribe a prac­tice-led en­quiry into the value of 3-D Com­puter Gen­er­ated Im­agery (CGI) in the vi­su­al­i­sa­tion and an­i­ma­tion of clin­i­cal ra­di­o­log­i­cal scan data. The aim of this work is to de­velop an al­ter­na­tive path­way to vi­su­al­is­ing clin­i­cal data that aug­ments and chal­lenges the ex­ist­ing med­ical imag­ing aes­thetic. It ques­tions the in­tegrity of the au­thors arts-based in­ter­pre­ta­tion of  ra­di­o­log­i­cal scan data and its rel­e­vance in the re­al­world con­text of en­hance­ment of doc­tor-pa­tient com­mu­ni­ca­tion and in­ter­ac­tion. Ex­plor­ing the op­por­tu­ni­ties for a new vi­su­al­i­sa­tion path­way that brings to­gether the vi­sual and nar­ra­tive ap­proaches of a 3-D com­puter an­i­ma­tion aes­thetic and the de­tail em­bed­ded in­clin­i­cal ra­di­o­log­i­cal scan data. A multi-method ap­proach is used to ad­dress the key re­search ques­tions. The meth­ods are in­formed by a col­lab­o­ra­tive two-year res­i­dency at Ninewells Hos­pi­tal, NHS Tay­side, Dundee. The de­signer’s tacit knowl­edge is dis­cussed in re­la­tion to pro­vid­ing a trans­fer­able model of work­ing, propos­ing ap­proaches for the fu­ture vi­su­al­i­sa­tion of med­ical scan data from a pa­tient cen­tric point of view.
