Takayasus arteritis, 3d CT scan
Takayasus arteritis. Coloured 3d computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the arteries of the neck and head of a 56-year-old patient with Takayasus arteritis. Takayasus arteritis, or pulseless disease, is a rare, inflammatory disease of the aorta and its branches. Stenosis (narrowing) of the arteries in the arms can lead to an absence of a wrist pulse. This disease can result in aneurysms (weakenings of artery walls), which can be fatal in the aorta. The cause is unknown, but treatment involves taking cortocosteroid drugs, such as prednisone, and surgery for repairing any aneurysms

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 showcases a coloured 3D CT scan of the arteries in the neck and head of a 56-year-old patient diagnosed with Takayasus arteritis. This rare and inflammatory disease affects the aorta and its branches, leading to stenosis or narrowing of the arm arteries, resulting in an absence of wrist pulse. The condition can also cause potentially fatal aneurysms, weakening artery walls. The image, set against a striking black background, highlights the intricate network of unhealthy and obstructed blood vessels caused by this disorder. Through advanced radiography techniques like computed tomography (CT) angiography, medical professionals gain valuable insights into this complex syndrome. Takayasus arteritis remains idiopathic in nature; its exact cause is still unknown. However, treatment typically involves corticosteroid drugs like prednisone to manage inflammation and surgery for repairing any dangerous aneurysms that may arise. This visually stunning representation provides a three-dimensional view of the affected arterial system within the human body. False colouring enhances our understanding as we observe abnormal narrowing and inflammation throughout these crucial blood pathways. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image as part of their extensive collection on medical conditions. It serves as both educational material for healthcare professionals studying vasculitis-related diseases and raises awareness among individuals about this lesser-known but impactful ailment.
