Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, MRI scan
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of an axial section through the brain of a 35-year-old patient, showing hyperintensity in the region of the putamen and cerebral cortex. These are typical radiological signs indicative of the presence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). CJD is the result of virus-like prions within the brain that cause vacuoles and plaques to form, making the brain spongy and killing off the tissue. Symptoms include dementia and sudden muscle contractions, leading to death. The similarly fatal cattle disease BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) has now been linked to human CJD

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain of a 35-year-old patient suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). The image, set against a black background, reveals hyperintensity in the putamen and cerebral cortex regions. These distinct radiological signs are indicative of CJD, an incurable neurodegenerative disorder caused by virus-like prions within the brain. CJD ravages the brain by forming vacuoles and plaques that make it spongy while progressively destroying vital tissue. This fatal condition manifests through symptoms such as dementia and sudden muscle contractions, ultimately leading to death. Interestingly, this devastating disease has been linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as mad cow disease. The monochrome aesthetic of this image adds to its scientific allure, highlighting the intricate anatomy and abnormal deposits present in diseased neural cells. It serves as a powerful visual representation of the detrimental effects that these prions have on human health. As we delve into this medical marvel captured through diagnostic imaging technology like MRI scans, we gain valuable insights into understanding neurological disorders and their impact on our bodies. This photograph is not only visually striking but also contributes significantly to advancing research in neurology and healthcare practices worldwide.
