Seasonal colors were added to the obstructed biliary tree imaged with MRCP. Pink represents the spring, green the summer, brown the fall and white the winter. Enhancing the black and white native image with color is an easy manipulation enabling all radiologists to become ?artists? Add a little color, create a story around the new image ? and creativity is born.

Adding a Second Image and Then Color

Aortic Dance Ashley Davidoff
This is also an easy one, since almost everything is in place and just a bit of color needs to be added. Legs and arms are already present, and the calcified plaques fit as parts of the face (sort of). The 2 stents on the green dancer become sleeves of the shirt, and the aneurysm on the yellow dancer becomes a small belly. Finally, tortuosity creates the movement of the dancers.

Thumbs Up Bird Family Original is from an MRI of a Foot The fledglings reflect the original image Ashley Davidoff TheCommonVein.net
The coronal MRI of the foot leaves the big toe exposed. The toenail becomes part of the face of all the members of the family enabling genetics to play its role. The bird parents are given beaks and color. The colorless ?footlings? trail behind, and their cuteness provides an emotional element.

Derivation of The Cedars of Sternum Along the River Ashley Davidoff
Branching shape of the sternum on CT was used to create the trunk of the Cedars. The rest of the river view was created with slightly more intricate digital rendering, but well within the capability of the members of a discipline who work intimately with computers all the time.

Radiology depends on black and white. One without the other is meaningless

Radiology Depends on Black and White 1. Why did you create this piece? The whole is bigger than the parts and anatomy and physiology teach us how this works in the body as well as in radiology 2. What was your inspiration? The current racial tensions in our country 3. What does this piece mean to you as a radiologist/artist? In radiology we need the black and the white and all the shades in between in order for us to understand and interpret the image. Ashley Davidoff
