Small intestine, barium X-ray

Small intestines, coloured X-ray. The four X-rays reveal the passage of a swallowed barium contrast medium through the upper part of the digestive system. The medium shows up white on X-rays. The four X-rays were taken at different times, to assess the progress of material from the stomach through the intestines (white loops). This diagnostic technique is useful for locating blockages or other intestinal disorders. This patient is healthy

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 captures the intricate workings of the small intestine through a series of barium X-rays. The four images showcase the journey of a swallowed barium contrast medium as it travels through the upper part of the digestive system. The white loops on these X-rays represent the progress of this material from the stomach to the intestines, providing valuable insights into any potential blockages or intestinal disorders. The use of this diagnostic technique proves invaluable in locating and understanding various ailments within our bodies. In this particular case, we witness a healthy patient whose anatomy and physiology are functioning optimally. The blue hue adds an artistic touch to these scientific visuals, highlighting both beauty and functionality. As we delve into this image, we gain a deeper appreciation for our own internal mechanisms responsible for digestion. It serves as a reminder that our organs work harmoniously together to ensure proper nourishment and overall well-being. Through radiography and medical advancements like X-ray machines and contrast mediums such as barium, healthcare professionals can accurately diagnose conditions affecting our digestive system. This false-colored representation provides clarity in understanding complex anatomical structures while emphasizing their importance in maintaining good health. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into human biology, reminding us how remarkable our bodies truly are.
