Abstract
The author demonstrates examples of symmetrical images in human pathol ogy. He introduces the subject with arguments of the philosophical and cultural areas. He defines asymmetry and dyssymmetry. The symmetrical images are linked to different planes (natural, artificial and mixed) . With numerous symmetrical pathological images he demonstrates new te leonomical hypotheses: interchangeable, enantiomorphous, turned, rotat ed images. The concept of symmetry, asymmetry and dyssymmetry leads to the concept of symmetrical thinking in clinical imaging.
