Brain and arteries, coloured CT scan
Healthy brain and arteries. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan showing healthy arteries (white) supplying a human brain (red) with oxygenated blood. The front of the head is at top. Also seen are the frontal sinuses (brown strip, top), which are air spaces in the forehead that are lined with mucous membranes. CT scanning uses beams of X-rays fired at different angles to build up slice images through the body. It is useful for detecting many brain disorders such as haemorrhages and tumours

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured CT scan of a healthy brain and its intricate network of arteries. The vibrant image reveals the vital role these arteries play in supplying oxygenated blood to the human brain, depicted in striking red hues. Positioned at the top is the front of the head, where we can observe the presence of frontal sinuses - air spaces lined with mucous membranes within the forehead. The technique employed to create this remarkable visual is computed tomography (CT) scanning, which utilizes X-rays fired from various angles to construct slice images throughout the body. This non-invasive diagnostic tool proves invaluable in identifying numerous brain disorders such as haemorrhages and tumours. The photograph not only highlights key elements of our biological system but also emphasizes their normality and healthiness. It offers an anatomical insight into our circulatory system's arterial pathways while shedding light on cerebral anatomy and neurological structures. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this false-coloured representation, providing us with a glimpse into our central nervous system's inner workings. The image serves as an educational resource for medical professionals studying neurology or conducting research related to angiography, arteriography, or vascular conditions.
