      It's possible to feel the main artery near the temple and then trace it from there to the ear. Cool image; I would not have figured that out otherwise.

      This is a great image. I used it on a page about Temporal Arteritis. I included a photo credit and a link back here.

      Thank you!

      Hi. We've started a new magazine called Empirical (empiricalmagazine.com ) and I am happy to say that we've chosen the photograph above for publication in our October issue. Thank you for making it available to us.
