Atherosclerosis, 3D CT scan C016 / 6537

Atherosclerosis. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the hip of a 67 year old patient with hypertension (high blood pressure) and hypercholesterolemia (high blood cholesterol). The iliofemoral arteries (cream) are narrowed due to atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty plaques (atheroma)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) scan of a 67-year-old patient's hip affected by atherosclerosis. The image, taken against a striking black background, vividly illustrates the consequences of this disease on the iliofemoral arteries. Coloured in cream, these crucial blood vessels appear significantly narrowed due to the accumulation of fatty plaques known as atheroma. The patient featured in this photograph suffers from hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, conditions that contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. This composite image serves as an essential diagnostic tool for medical professionals seeking to understand and treat arteriosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD). As we delve into this intricate visual representation, it becomes evident how vital CT scans are in unveiling abnormalities within our bodies. By utilizing advanced imaging technology, healthcare providers can accurately diagnose stenosis or narrowing of blood vessels caused by plaque build-up. This thought-provoking print not only highlights the complexity of human anatomy but also emphasizes the importance of maintaining cardiovascular health throughout our lives. It reminds us that unhealthy lifestyles and disorders such as high cholesterol can lead to potentially life-threatening conditions like atherosclerosis. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully captured this momentous snapshot, offering both medical professionals and individuals alike an opportunity to explore and comprehend the intricacies associated with vascular diseases like ASVD.
