Abstract

Of such criteria are the standards of images, clinical understanding, technical ingenuity and diagnostic inquisitiveness made. Concomitant with artistic excellence of CT images is clinical, scientific, and diagnostic success. A step towards such goals is the application of high-resolution CT, both alone and together with a safe water-soluble CSF contrast medium.

Its touches of beauty should never be halfway, thereby making the reader breathless instead of content.

The rise, the progress, the setting of imagery, should like the sun, come natural.

John Keats, Letters 51, 1818
