Narrowed abdominal arteries, angiogram

Narrowed abdominal arteries, coloured angiogram (blood vessel X-ray). The aorta, the bodys main artery, is at top. It branches into two iliac arteries (bottom), which supply blood to the groin and legs. The stenosis (narrowing) is seen in the right iliac artery (left). It is usually caused by fatty deposits (atheroma) accumulating on the arterial wall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured angiogram, providing an intricate view of narrowed abdominal arteries. At the top lies the aorta, our body's main artery, which branches into two iliac arteries at the bottom. These iliac arteries supply blood to our groin and legs, playing a crucial role in our circulatory system. However, this image reveals an abnormality - stenosis or narrowing in the right iliac artery on the left side of the print. This condition is typically caused by fatty deposits known as atheroma accumulating on the arterial wall. The vibrant colours used in this false-coloured X-ray highlight this restricted and unhealthy state within our internal anatomy. The significance of such detailed medical imagery cannot be overstated. It allows us to delve deep into understanding diseases like arteriosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) and atherosclerosis that can lead to blockages in vital blood vessels. By utilizing contrast medium during angiography procedures and employing radiography techniques with an X-ray machine, medical professionals gain invaluable insights into diagnosing and treating these conditions effectively. Science Photo Library continues its commitment to capturing extraordinary visuals that bridge biology, medicine, anatomy, and technology seamlessly together. Through their lens, we witness both the wonders and challenges faced by our incredible human bodies while advancing scientific knowledge for healthier futures worldwide.
