radiologists (and patients) owe a lot to roentgen and the numerous men and women physicists and physicians who have developed the field to what it is today. 

Without hardcore sciences (physics, chemistry, biochemistry, etc.), engineering, and mathematics, pictures like the one below are what would have continued defining the face of medicine:

See definition of trepanation.

Didn't know Napoleon has spondylolisthesis.

 

no, i don't think napoleon had spondylolithesis/spondyloptysis (not that i know of, anyway). it's when you have greater than grade iv spondylolithesis that an ap view of the lumbar spine will look like an upside-down napoleon's hat.

Well... does not look that different from today's surgical practice, does it ?

 

About Napoleon, I had the same split second hesitation than Kevin, before I realized that Napoleon died more than half a century too early to have his innard-picture taken. I saw that hat in person, btw, and--if I recall correctly--a full uniform is close by, as well as one of his horses, preserved (a white horse). In the cript of the same building is the huge pink marble sarcophagus that contains his remains.

 

Roentgen was also the first man to see if his wife was as pretty inside than outside, without having to open it

Ah, I see. Re-read the small text and yes, it did states "Napoleon's Hat" sign. Thanks for clarification.

Couple years ago when we were in Paris, did visit Napoleon's resting place. Impressive structure and had a blast at the Musee de Armee (sp?). There were like no tourists and I had a great time... of course my wife was bored to tears. I am like "Hey, that's Marshall Ney's portrait", and she is like "Marshall who?" and I had to make it up to her by taking her shoppping. It was my turn to say "Louis Vuitton, who?"

At least, Vuitton's main stores are by the Arc de Triomphe

OK Dave,

 

Your wife and my wife should never, and I mean NEVER, meet.... We will go broke with the bag thing, and no more pen money.... what horror!!

[Guest Denis Richard]

Funny that you two Dave and Kevin rave about the Musée de l'Armée : the building, l'Hotel des Invalides (litteraly "hotel of the disabled") was built on Napoleon's order as a hospital for the veterans of his campaigns. Your Doctor's Pens would have felt right at home
