This cartoon was inspired by the popular children’s nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty who is portrayed as an egg and the fact that our heads are shaped like eggs on axial CT images. So naturally, I put the two together and made this cartoon. This cartoon also shows how reliant many specialties are on medical imaging when making medical decisions. In this case, all the doctors could not put Humpty together until the CT was performed and the radiologist had read the report and called in the results.
