Chest Ct Scan Lung Lungs Respiratory System Scan False Coloured

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour CT scan of a normal heart and lungs, providing us with an intricate glimpse into the inner workings of our respiratory system. The image depicts an axial section through the chest, revealing the lung fields colored in mesmerizing shades of purple with delicate black flecks scattered throughout. Nestled between these vibrant lungs is the heart, portrayed as a roughly circular entity adorned in varying hues of blue. Beneath this vital organ lies one of the large thoracic vertebrae, its body and bony processes beautifully highlighted in a striking yellow tone. Positioned to the right of this backbone is none other than the awe-inspiring aorta – our body's principal artery – which manifests itself as a distinct blue circle within this extraordinary composition. Through this false-colour computed X-ray tomography (CT) scan, we are granted access to both anatomical precision and artistic expression. This visual masterpiece not only offers valuable insights into human anatomy but also serves as a testament to science's ability to merge technical expertise with aesthetic brilliance. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece that effortlessly captivates viewers while simultaneously educating them about our remarkable physiological structures.
