Coloured MRI scan of healthy human head in profile
Human head. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal (profile) section of a healthy human head. The soft tissue of the lips, nose and skin appears dark blue. The jaw can be seen at lower left, with a tooth (pink) visible at lower centre. The curve of the skull is seen at upper right. MRI uses pulses of radio waves to provoke atoms in the body to release signals. The signal strength depends on the type of tissue, so an image can be built up of the internal features. This makes it a very useful tool when trying to diagnose a condition without performing exploratory surgery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured MRI scan of a healthy human head in profile. The intricate details of the soft tissue, such as the lips, nose, and skin, are beautifully depicted in shades of dark blue. At the lower left corner, we catch a glimpse of the jawline with one solitary tooth appearing pink at its center. As our eyes move upwards towards the upper right portion of the image, we witness the graceful curve of the skull. The power behind this remarkable image lies in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. By utilizing pulses of radio waves to stimulate atoms within our bodies to emit signals, an accurate representation can be constructed showcasing internal features without invasive procedures like exploratory surgery. The strength and characteristics of these signals vary depending on different types of tissues present within us. This invaluable diagnostic tool offers medical professionals an unparalleled insight into our anatomy and aids them in identifying potential conditions or abnormalities that may require attention. With its ability to provide detailed images without causing harm or discomfort to patients, MRI has revolutionized modern medicine. Science Photo Library presents this stunning visual representation as a testament to both scientific advancement and artistic appreciation for human physiology. It serves as a reminder that beneath our external appearances lie complex structures waiting to be explored and understood for better health outcomes.
