Bacterial meningitis, MRI scan
Bacterial meningitis. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of an axial section through the brain of a 16-year-old patient, showing hyperintensity around the meninges - the membranes surrounding the brain. This is a typical sign of bacterial meningitis, caused by infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a 16-year-old patient's brain affected by bacterial meningitis. The image reveals hyperintensity around the meninges, which are the protective membranes surrounding the brain. This distinct feature is indicative of bacterial meningitis, an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. The striking contrast between the black background and vibrant colours emphasizes the severity of this disease. The swollen appearance of the meninges serves as a visual reminder of how this condition can disrupt normal anatomy and impact neurological health in adolescents. Through this detailed radiography, we gain insight into both the biological aspects and medical implications associated with bacterial meningitis. It highlights the importance of diagnostic imaging techniques like MRI scans in identifying such abnormalities within our complex human bodies. While not affiliated with any specific company or intended for commercial use, this thought-provoking image sparks curiosity about healthcare advancements and reminds us to prioritize preventive measures against infectious diseases. By raising awareness about conditions like bacterial meningitis, we strive towards better understanding, improved treatment options, and ultimately healthier lives for individuals across all age groups.
