Female pelvis, coloured 3-D CT scan
Female pelvis, coloured 3-D computed tomography (CT) scan. The upper part of each thigh bone (femur) is seen at each side of the pelvis, where they form the hip joints. The spine runs down centre, terminating in the coccyx (tail bone) at lower centre. Major blood vessels are also seen, separating at top centre and running down each leg. The female pelvis is wider and shallower than the male, which facilitates childbirth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured 3-D CT scan of the female pelvis, providing an intricate view of its anatomical features. The upper part of each thigh bone, known as the femur, gracefully connects with the pelvis to form the hip joints on either side. In the center, we can trace the spine as it runs down and culminates in the coccyx or tailbone at lower center. What makes this image truly fascinating is not only its detailed portrayal of bones but also its depiction of major blood vessels that branch out from top center and extend down each leg. This visual representation allows us to appreciate how these vital pathways support circulation throughout our bodies. It's worth noting that compared to their male counterparts, female pelvises are wider and shallower. This unique structure plays a crucial role in facilitating childbirth by providing more space for delivery. With its vibrant orange hues and precise illustrations, this print serves as both an educational tool for medical professionals and a testament to human physiology's complexity. Radiography techniques like computed tomography (CT) scans enable us to explore three-dimensional aspects of our skeletal system, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment plans. This remarkable photograph is brought to you by Science Photo Library—an invaluable resource for scientific imagery—depicting not just bones but also insights into our body's inner workings.
