Knee joint, side view, MRI scan
Knee joint, coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. In this side view, the front of the knee is at left. The patella (kneecap) is at far left. The knee is the largest joint in the body. It is formed from the articulation of the femur (thigh bone, upper centre) and the tibia (shin bone, lower centre). Behind these bones are supporting muscles and tendons. MRI scanners use a powerful magnet to align hydrogen atoms in body tissues. A radio frequency pulse is used to knock these out of alignment. The energy that the atoms emit as they realign themselves with the field is used to build up an image of tissues

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a side view of the knee joint, beautifully captured through coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The image depicts the front of the knee on the left, with the patella or kneecap positioned at its far left. As our body's largest joint, this intricate structure is formed by the articulation of two vital bones - the femur or thigh bone in the upper center and the tibia or shin bone in the lower center. Behind these bones lie a network of supporting muscles and tendons that play a crucial role in maintaining stability and facilitating movement. To capture this remarkable visual, MRI scanners employ an impressive technique involving powerful magnets to align hydrogen atoms within body tissues. By utilizing radio frequency pulses to disrupt their alignment momentarily, these atoms emit energy as they realign themselves with their magnetic field. The resulting emission allows for an accurate representation of different tissues within our bodies to be built up into detailed images. This mesmerizing photograph not only highlights various aspects of biology and anatomy but also serves as a valuable tool for medical professionals seeking insights into normal skeletal structures and overall knee health.
