Eyes only see what it knows

We don't need to understand a photograph. Do we? Just because, our eyes are conditioned for this image reconstruction algorithm. But, a mysterical aura surrounds a radiograph and many a time we are not able to understand it. As a patient enters a diagnostic station, his body runs through a chain of imaging modalities, hundreds of imaging sequences and innumerable views to get a million of images. Radiologists scan through them, twist and storm their mind, rote the old books and images to produce a brilliant superfluous piece of paper called "report". This site aims at bridging a huge existing chasm between clinicians and radiologists. Lets condition our eyes to every possible thing, so that we look a radiograph with same complacency as a photograph.
