Per request, I've set up mug printing for my Star Wars X-ray art. It goes through a 3rd party to print, so if you get one for yourself or a friend, let me know how you like it! Vader: Trooper: Boba:

Not giving the radiologist the history/concern is like hiring a mechanic and not telling them what the issue is. If they're good they'll most often figure it out on their own, but they'll do it faster and more accurately if you tell them, and be less likely to miss something.
