【Medical Illustration Post-Processing Checklist】

═══════════════════════════════════════
📋 Step 1: Medical Logic Review (Core Value)
═══════════════════════════════════════
□ Verify GPCR receptor helix structure (should be 7 transmembrane helices)
□ Check ion channel conformation accuracy
□ Confirm signal pathway arrow directions (activation→green/inhibition→red)
□ Validate receptor binding site positions
□ Check protein complex assembly correctness
□ Verify organelle morphology (mitochondrial cristae, ER structure, etc.)

═══════════════════════════════════════
📝 Step 2: Text & Label Correction
═══════════════════════════════════════
□ Check all protein name spellings (e.g., IL-6, not IL6)
□ Confirm gene symbols follow HUGO nomenclature
□ Verify annotation lines point precisely
□ Stand...

💡 Tip: After copying, paste into Notion, Feishu, Word, or any text editor

Complete Workflow
1

Logic Modeling

Use Scopus AI or this tool to analyze abstracts and extract core biological elements

  • Ensure extracted elements reflect latest pathogenic mechanisms
  • Focus on completeness of molecular pathways
2

Prompt Generation

Generate English prompts for Nano Banana 2 with detailed labels and multi-panel layouts

  • Use BioRender or Nature Reviews visual style
  • Clearly annotate Labels and Arrows fields
3

AI Image Generation

Copy prompts to Nano Banana 2 and generate mechanism diagrams in 30 seconds

  • Check if generated text labels are clear
  • Evaluate if overall layout meets expectations
4

Post-Processing

Perform compliance processing in PS/AI to ensure submission success

  • This is the key step for successful submission
  • Maintain the core competitiveness of illustrators

Post-Processing Checklist

Medical Logic Review

Receptor Conformation

Verify GPCR helices, ion channel structures, and receptor binding sites are correctly depicted

Pathway Direction

Ensure signal transduction arrows point in the correct biological direction

Text & Labels

Label Spelling

Check all protein names, gene symbols, and abbreviations for accuracy

Label Alignment

Ensure label lines point precisely to their targets

Technical Requirements

Resolution Check

Adjust to 300/600 DPI for print publication

Export Format

Export as .TIFF, .EPS, or .PDF for lossless quality
