Dear Sirs,
we are a group of radiologists, technologists and artists, who started a new project “Radiology museum”, which is dedicated to Radiology art and covers Radiology curiosities, interesting images, equipment, accessories, historical images and historical figures. Anybody who is interested and would like to contribute to this group is welcome to join.
We just created a dedicated group for Radiology art on the Radiology community “Radiolopolis” (www.radiolopolis.com) and would like to invite everybody who is interested to join this endeavour.

We will soon launch a “Radiology museum” website and we would like to combine the ideas and contributions of our group members and maybe you, too. Furthermore, the artwork/contributions will be also displayed and promoted in the Radiology community “Radiolopolis”. Not only images but also interesting articles about Radiology art will be offered, why a dedicated Radiology art blog for this project is also envisioned. We are now – in the start phase – searching for potential team members to discuss relevant issues and collect ideas for a great success. The Radiology museum will be launched in June/July this year.
By the way: We came to an agreement with the Journal of Radiology Case Reports (www.JRCR.org) to publish “interesting images”, such as radiological artwork on a regular basis with material from our project.
I hope, you are interested in this exciting new endeavour and we would be pleased to welcome you in our team.
The “Radiology art” group can be found at http://www.radiolopolis.com/index.php/get-connected/groups/all-groups/viewgroup/72-Radiology Art.html

Thanks, Hank, and others. My brother was always taking stuff apart when he was a kid too. He had an insatiable curiosity, and we were always wading through mass quantities of loose wires, cords, guts of radios, telephones, televisions and oscilloscopes strewn about his room. He loved taking stuff apart but didn’t much like putting it back together again, so this debris grew sizable over time. I was into biology, and I thought “The Invisible Man,” a clear plastic model of a human being showing all the organs and veins, muscles, tendons, etc, was the most wonderful thing I’d ever seen. Right up there with Saturn’s rings that we could see through the telescope we set up out on the patio.

My father would have wished that every toy, clock, and electronic gadget came with a CT scan showing what was inside. As a young boy I was always disassembling things to see what made them function, including a few prized items belongin to my father (which he still recounts today with more humor as compared to the frustration he experienced back then). Had there been a CT scan or X-ray for me to look at on the package, perhaps I would have resisted the temptation to look inside and spare a few precious items an untimely demise.

My father would sing an amusing variation of a country song; “Fathers, don’t let your children grow up to be scientists. Let them be cowboys and coal miners and such…” He was kidding, of course. He was a scientist and suffered his father in the same ways.

Very cool gallery by the way!

Yes, this is a very interesting gallery.

As a nature lover, it has always fascinated me how wondrous and surprising the artifacts of humankind can be. Human-made things often show something that looks so deeply akin to nature’s symmetry and beauty. Maybe because we humans are part of nature?

Now someone just needs to reveal the inner beauty of suburban box stores!
