EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library depicts a 3D CT scan of atherosclerosis, a common and concerning condition affecting the arteries. The image showcases the abdomen of a 73-year-old patient, highlighting the main artery known as the aorta in cream color running down the center. The visual representation reveals calcified fatty plaques, indicated by arrows, accumulating on the walls of the aorta. This buildup is characteristic of atherosclerosis, an unhealthy disorder that narrows blood vessels and restricts proper blood flow throughout the body. The composite image offers valuable insight into this medical diagnosis, providing healthcare professionals with crucial information for accurate assessment and treatment planning. By utilizing advanced technology such as computed tomography (CT) scanning and three-dimensional imaging techniques, physicians can gain comprehensive knowledge about arterial abnormalities like stenosis or narrowing caused by arteriosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD). As we observe this intricate snapshot of human anatomy disrupted by fatty plaque deposits along vital blood vessels, it serves as a reminder of how age-related conditions can impact our overall health. With its vibrant colors and detailed structure, this print not only educates but also sparks curiosity about our complex cardiovascular system. Photo credit: ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
