Brain and blood vessels, 3-D CT scan

Brain and blood vessels, coloured 3-D computed tomography (CT) scan. The front of the brain is at bottom. It is enclosed by the skull (grey/green). Blood vessels (red) supply the brain with blood. Damage to these can lead to an interruption of blood flow to parts of the brain, which is the cause of a stroke. CT scans are used in medicine to look for tumours or other diseases

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the human brain and its blood vessels in a stunning 3-D CT scan. The vibrant colors bring to life the complexity of our most vital organ, with the front of the brain positioned at the bottom, encased protectively by the skull. The network of red blood vessels elegantly weaves throughout, supplying essential nourishment and oxygen to every corner of this remarkable organ. However, this delicate system is not without vulnerability. Damage to these crucial pathways can result in a devastating interruption of blood flow, leading to a stroke. CT scans like this one play an invaluable role in medical diagnostics and research. They enable healthcare professionals to investigate potential abnormalities such as tumors or other diseases that may affect brain function. By providing detailed images from different angles, CT scans offer valuable insights into both structure and physiology. This composite image serves as a powerful reminder of our own intelligence and capacity for thought. It highlights how interconnected our anatomy truly is - from single cells to complex systems like our central nervous system - all working harmoniously together within our incredible minds. Captured by Science Photo Library, this mesmerizing print invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden beneath our skin while emphasizing the importance of preserving and protecting these precious organs that define who we are.
