“Head Games”

Sagittal reconstruction of a head CT with band-like areas of motion artifact

This image reminds me of some of the more stylized opening credit sequences from films and TV of the 60’s and 70’s. Band-like figures moving in different directions which then lock together as a coherent picture. The thrill of disorientation and movement all on a static screen. An entertainment equivalent of tri-colored shag carpeting (which we had in our den and my older sister and I both had in our respective attic bedrooms). It was a great idea at the time…

“Frank Burnside is a tough former New York City COP who quit the force after uncovering evidence of heavy police CORRUPTION. He bounced around in odd jobs before renting a small office in the Bowery as a private investigator. He was enjoying life’s slower pace until a chance encounter with an old FLAME led him into a LABYRINTH of mystery, intrigue and MURDER! Whether you’re a cop, a pimp, a politician, or a loan shark, it seems that old scores are never fully SETTLED!…. Starring George Segal as Frank Burnside…. with George Peppard, Lee Remick, Jan-Michael Vincent, Anthony Franciosa, and Shelley Winters as Cookie Walters. HEAD GAMES is one game you will NEVER forget!” (Warner Bros.)

Much of my career in radiology has been spent studying, with great fascination, the internal mechanisms of the human body. This blog is an effort to expand that view to the outside world and also to map my own experiences engaging with it.
