EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate network of blood vessels in the head. In this coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram, we are presented with a side view of a normal external carotid artery and its branches. The vibrant red hue beautifully highlights the main artery as it winds through the neck, supplying oxygenated blood to various parts of the head. To provide a comprehensive view, part of the skull has been carefully cut-away, revealing the fascinating purple-toned brain beneath. This unique perspective allows us to appreciate both the external carotid artery's path and its relationship with surrounding structures. The image also offers insight into human anatomy and biology. It showcases an adult profile, emphasizing features such as teeth and jawline that contribute to our overall health. Moreover, it serves as a reminder of how essential these arteries are for maintaining proper organ function. With its black background contrasting against vivid colours, this photograph exudes an artistic quality while remaining scientifically informative. It captures not only medical imaging technology but also our curiosity about what lies beneath our skin—unveiling hidden wonders within our own bodies.
