This is a blog about Medical Imaging. As someone working on Medical Imaging for some years and who enjoys reading blogs, it seemed only natural that I start my own blog. Know your images is a blog directed to researchers and professionals in Medical Imaging, but also to all researchers out there and the general public.

A nail in the heart
Literally, this man got a nail in his heart. The image was obtained with X-ray imaging. This was an accident and the man went into surgery for 2 hours. Gladly, everything turned out OK and he is safe and sound.
Just as an imagination task: How crazy would it be to image this man with an MRI?
