Healthy brain, MRI scans
Healthy brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans through the head of a 55 year old man, showing the brain sectioned in coronal (frontal) view. There are 20 scans, taken from the back of the head (top left) through to the front (lower right). Inside the skull the cerebrum of the brain appears convoluted (blue), with the cerebellum (brown) beneath it, the brainstem (pink), as well as tissues of the neck (light red) seen. Parts of the face including eye sockets and nasal bones are seen at lower right. MRI scanning creates " slice" images through the body using radio waves and a powerful magnetic field. It is useful in determining the health of the brain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a healthy brain through coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The image features a frontal view of the head sectioned in coronal slices, revealing 20 scans that span from the back to the front. The convoluted cerebrum, depicted in shades of blue, takes center stage within the skull, while the brown-toned cerebellum lies beneath it. The pink-colored brainstem and tissues of the neck are also visible, adding depth to this mesmerizing composition. At lower right, glimpses of facial structures such as eye sockets and nasal bones remind us of the interconnectedness between our brains and bodies. This non-invasive technique utilizes radio waves and a powerful magnetic field to create "slice" images that provide valuable insights into brain health. The false-coloured MRI scan not only offers an aesthetic appeal but also serves as a vital tool for understanding human anatomy and normal brain function. As we observe this snapshot taken from a 55-year-old man's head, we gain appreciation for the complexity and resilience of our nervous system. This remarkable photograph by Science Photo Library captures both scientific precision and artistic allure simultaneously. It invites viewers to marvel at one of nature's most extraordinary creations –the human brain– while highlighting its importance in maintaining overall well-being.
