Atherosclerosis, 3D CT scan
Atherosclerosis. 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the main blood vessels of the lower body a 58-year-old man, showing numerous atheromatous plaques (light, centre) on the vessel walls. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which an artery wall thickens as a result of accumulations (atheromas) of fatty materials such as cholesterol

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the main blood vessels in the lower body of a 58-year-old man. The image reveals an intricate network of arteries, but what truly stands out are the numerous atheromatous plaques that adorn the vessel walls like patches of light at the center. Atherosclerosis, as depicted here, is a condition where artery walls thicken due to accumulations of fatty materials such as cholesterol. This visual representation vividly demonstrates how this disease can affect individuals and their circulatory system. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of maintaining cardiovascular health. The colored profile view allows us to observe these abnormal formations in detail, highlighting their impact on overall well-being. From calcified areas to thickened walls and multiple plaques, every element contributes to our understanding of this disorder. As we delve into this medical marvel, it becomes evident that age does not discriminate when it comes to arterial health. In his fifties, this adult male's CT scan provides valuable insights for diagnosis and treatment options related to arteriosclerotic vascular disease. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in medicine with this image – one that invites further exploration into haematology and diagnostic imaging techniques.
