Brain cancer, MRI scan C016 / 4438
Brain cancer. Coloured coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan through the head of a 48 year old male patient with a glioblastoma (red), with surrounding oedema (fluid) that is compressing the left ventricle (at right). A glioblastoma is a particularly malignant brain cancer that arises from the supporting glial cells in the brain. Treatment is with a combination of surgery and radiotherapy, but the prognosis is poor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a 48-year-old male patient diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive and malignant brain cancer. The image vividly illustrates the presence of a red tumour, representing the glioblastoma, accompanied by surrounding oedema or fluid that is exerting pressure on the left ventricle. Glioblastomas originate from glial cells in the brain and are notoriously difficult to treat. This particular diagnosis calls for a combination of surgical intervention and radiotherapy; however, despite these efforts, the prognosis remains bleak. The image highlights both the complexity and severity of this condition within an adult male's head. It serves as a stark reminder of how diseases can affect our bodies at any stage in life. Displayed against a medical backdrop, this MRI scan provides valuable insight into diagnosing disorders within our nervous system. The frontal view allows healthcare professionals to identify abnormal growths such as tumors while also assessing their impact on adjacent structures like blood vessels or ventricles. While not explicitly mentioned by name, DU CANE MEDICAL IMAGING LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this snapshot of human suffering caused by brain cancer. Their dedication to oncology research shines through in this powerful visual representation that encourages further exploration into understanding and combating such malignancies.
