Brain haemorrhage, CT scans C018 / 0569
Brain haemorrhage. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scans of the brain of a 49 year old patient with a subdural haematoma (blue). This is the bleeding and subsequent formation of a blood clot between the membranes surrounding the brain. Subdural haematomas are often fatal as the mass puts pressure on the brain, damaging the tissue. They are caused by impact injuries and are more common in the elderly, as the blood vessels involved become more fragile with age. Treatment is usually with the surgical removal of the clot

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a brain haemorrhage, captured through coloured computed tomography (CT) scans. The image depicts the brain of a 49-year-old patient who suffered from a subdural haematoma, represented by the striking blue hue. A subdural haematoma occurs when bleeding and subsequent blood clot formation take place between the membranes surrounding the brain. The severity of this condition becomes evident as it exerts pressure on the delicate brain tissue, often leading to fatal consequences. Impact injuries are typically responsible for causing subdural haematomas, with elderly individuals being more susceptible due to age-related fragility in their blood vessels. In terms of treatment, surgical removal of the clot is usually necessary to alleviate further damage. This photograph provides an invaluable visual aid for medical professionals seeking to diagnose and understand such abnormalities within the human body. With its focus on diagnostic accuracy and scientific exploration, ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has once again delivered an exceptional piece that sheds light on cerebral trauma and its effects. By capturing this image using cutting-edge technology like CT scans and radiography, they have provided valuable insights into this specific case while contributing to our collective knowledge in medicine.
