This issue brings together a clinical anatomical challenge and a perspective on medical research. Two contributions describe complex congenital mediastinal and vascular anomalies and consider the financing of medical research in the post-pandemic period through lessons drawn from Archimedes. Together, they connect detailed radiological observation with reflection on the resources and institutional conditions that support scientific work. The authors are affiliated with institutions in Germany and Switzerland.
