Abstract


Information can be transmitted to the public in various ways. Postage stamps act as one of them. The information that they carry may be direct in the form of color and subject of the stamp or indirect through repeated sublime exposures. Postage stamps depicting various aspects of radiologic science ranging from theoretical radiation physics to clinical radiologic imaging and treatment are illustrated in this article.
