Glass Frame : False-colour NMR scan of the head, frontal section
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
False-colour NMR scan of the head, frontal section
False-colour nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) image of a coronal (frontal) section through the head of a healthy human subject, showing the division of the cerebrum (the main bulk of the brain) into left and right cerebral hemispheres. Colour-coding of the original black & white scan reveals the outer grey matter of the cerebral cortex in yellow/green and the inner white matter in red. NMR imaging resolves soft body tissues in greater detail than X-ray tomography (CT or CAT scanning) does. Unlike CT scanning, NMR imaging does not use ionising radiation & is therefore believed to be less potentially hazardous than X- ray techniques

Brain Scan False Coloured Nervous System
7"x5" Glass Mount
Wall mounted or free-standing, these black edged glass frames feature a smooth chamfered edge and a stylish black border (on back face of the glass). Manufactured from 4mm thick glass, Glass Mounts are a durable, professional way of displaying and protecting your prints. Your 7x5 print is slotted into the back of the frame so can easily be changed if needed.
Tempered Glass Mounts are ideal for wall display, plus the smaller sizes can also be used free-standing via an integral stand
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 17.7cm x 12.7cm (7" x 5")
Estimated Product Size is 20.3cm x 16.2cm (8" x 6.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) scan of the head, specifically a frontal section. The image provides an intricate view of the division within the cerebrum, which is the primary mass of the brain, into its left and right cerebral hemispheres. Through colour-coding techniques applied to the original black & white scan, we are able to discern various details: the outer grey matter of the cerebral cortex appears in vibrant yellow/green hues while the inner white matter is depicted in striking red tones. What makes NMR imaging particularly remarkable is its ability to reveal soft body tissues with exceptional clarity compared to X-ray tomography methods such as CT or CAT scanning. Notably, this technique does not employ ionising radiation like CT scans do, making it believed to be less potentially hazardous for patients. This extraordinary photograph offers us a glimpse into our complex nervous system and highlights how NMR brain scans contribute significantly to our understanding of human anatomy. With its emphasis on accuracy and safety, NMR imaging has become an invaluable tool for medical professionals seeking detailed insights into brain structure and function. This image from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to both scientific advancement and artistic representation at their finest.
