Ventricular shunt, X-ray
Ventricular shunt. X-ray of the head of a 52-year-old patient with hydrocephalus, showing the position of a ventricular shunt (dark lines, right) and its external valve (round, centre right). Hydrocephalus, or water on the brain, is a medical condition in which there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles (cavities) of the brain. A ventricular shunt is a neurosurgical implant that allows the drainage of excess CSF from the affected ventricle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a ventricular shunt, providing an insightful glimpse into the world of neurosurgery and medical technology. The image features the head of a 52-year-old patient with hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain's ventricles. Against a striking black background, dark lines indicate the position of the ventricular shunt while its external valve is prominently displayed at the center right. This innovative neurosurgical implant plays a crucial role in draining excess CSF from the affected ventricle, offering relief to individuals suffering from this disorder. The photograph not only highlights cutting-edge surgical techniques but also underscores the significance of diagnostic imaging in healthcare. Through radiography, medical professionals can visualize and assess abnormalities within our complex cerebral system. With its side view perspective and meticulous detail, this image conveys both the intricate nature of human anatomy and advancements in modern medicine. It serves as a powerful reminder that technology continues to revolutionize healthcare practices for patients worldwide. Overall, this visually stunning print encapsulates essential elements such as diagnosis, surgery, medicine, and technological innovation. By capturing this pivotal moment in time through radiological imagery, Science Photo Library provides valuable insights into how we understand and treat conditions like hydrocephalus.
