Abstract
We give an inequality relating the operator norm of $T$ and the numerical radii of $T$ and its Aluthge transform. It is a more precise estimate of the numerical radius than Kittaneh's result [Studia Math. 158 (2003)]. Then we obtain an equivalent condition for the numerical radius to be equal to half the operator norm.
