The thesis was reviewed by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Preim (OvGU Magdeburg), Prof. Dr. Renata Raidou (TU Wien), and Prof. Dr. Petra Isenberg (Uni Paris-Saclay). Sarah worked primarily in the field of narrative medical visualization. She collaborated with clinicians from a range of disciplines, most notably with Prof. Dr. med.
