Osteoid osteoma, X-ray

Osteoid osteoma. Coloured X-ray of an osteoid osteoma (white, centre left) in the second phalange bone of the middle finger. Osteoid osteoma is a rare, benign tumour of bone tissue that causes deep pain. The tumour typically measures less than half a centimetre and most commonly affects the long bones of the arms and legs. Treatment includes aspirin to relieve pain and surgery to remove the abnormal bone

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an intriguing medical condition known as osteoid osteoma. The coloured X-ray reveals a white abnormal growth, situated in the second phalange bone of the middle finger. Osteoid osteoma is a rare and benign tumour that affects bone tissue, causing deep-seated pain. Measuring less than half a centimetre, this peculiar tumour predominantly targets the long bones of the arms and legs. Despite its appearance, it is reassuring to know that this growth is harmless in nature. However, due to the discomfort it causes, treatment becomes necessary. The management of osteoid osteoma involves two key approaches: pain relief and surgical intervention. Aspirin is commonly prescribed to alleviate the persistent pain associated with this disorder. Additionally, surgery plays a crucial role in eliminating the abnormal bone altogether. This mesmerizing image not only provides insight into an uncommon skeletal disorder but also highlights the intricate anatomy of our hands and fingers. It serves as a reminder of how delicate yet resilient our human bodies are when faced with health challenges. Science Photo Library's remarkable radiograph captures both scientific curiosity and aesthetic appreciation for medical imagery while shedding light on conditions like osteoid osteoma that may otherwise remain hidden within us.
