Kidney tumour, CT scan

Kidney tumour. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a section through the abdomen of a 62-year-old patient, showing necrosis (death) of tissue in the right kidney, suggestive of neoplasia (abnormal growth or division of cells). Neoplasia normally causes a lump, or tumour, (neoplasm) and may be malignant (cancerous), pre-malignant (pre-cancerous), or benign (non-cancerous)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a kidney tumour found in the abdomen of a 62-year-old patient. The image reveals necrosis, or tissue death, in the right kidney, indicating abnormal cell growth known as neoplasia. Neoplasia often leads to the formation of a lump or tumour, which can be either malignant (cancerous), pre-malignant (pre-cancerous), or benign (non-cancerous). The black background intensifies the visual impact of this medical marvel, highlighting the intricate details and complexity within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder that even at an anatomical level, life can face disorder and disease. With its vibrant colours and precise sectioning, this CT scan offers invaluable insights into diagnosing renal conditions. Its diagnostic imaging capabilities provide healthcare professionals with crucial information for accurate assessments and treatment plans. As we delve into this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of our biological systems. Through advancements in radiology such as computed tomography scans like this one, medical science continues to unravel mysteries within our bodies while offering hope for improved healthcare outcomes.
