Inflamed spinal discs, MRI scan
Inflamed spinal discs. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a side view of the spine of a patient with discitis. The front of the body is at left, the skull is at top. Discitis is an inflammation of the spongy discs that sit between the bones (vertebrae, blue blocks) of the spine. Here the inflammation (bright green) is in the cervical (neck) spine (at C2 and C3). The inflamed discs are pressing on the spinal cord (red), which causes severe pain. It is often caused by infection and treatment is with antibiotics and rest

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of inflamed spinal discs through a coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The image provides a side view of the spine, with the front of the body on the left and the skull at the top. The focal point of this scan is discitis, an inflammation that affects the spongy discs nestled between each vertebrae in our spine. These blue blocks represent these bones, while bright green hues indicate areas of intense inflammation within the cervical (neck) region, specifically at C2 and C3. As depicted in this image, when these discs become inflamed, they exert pressure on the spinal cord represented by red lines. This compression leads to excruciating pain for patients suffering from this condition. Discitis is commonly caused by infection and can be treated using antibiotics along with ample rest. This visually striking photograph not only highlights a medical disorder but also emphasizes how crucial it is to care for our spines and seek appropriate healthcare when needed. With its diagnostic significance and false-coloured representation, this MRI scan offers valuable insights into understanding intervertebral disc health while shedding light on various aspects related to human anatomy and medicine as a whole.
