To the Editor:

I must congratulate you on the wonderful reproduction of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of traumatic carotid-artery dissection (Image in Clinical Medicine, Oct. 31 issue)1 (Figure 1Figure 1Traumatic Carotid-Artery Dissection.). Perhaps you could market it as a mask for radiologists who party on Halloween.

To the Editor:

Medicine aside, could you possibly have chosen a better item for the Journal dated October 31, 1996 — the day of Halloween? What great selection and timing, or was it just serendipity?
