Stroke. Coloured computed tomography (CT) brain scan showing a cerebrovascular accident
Stroke. Coloured computed tomography (CT) brain scan showing a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), or stroke. The red region is an area of internal bleeding, or haemorrhage. Stroke is brain damage caused by the interruption of the brains blood supply or by the leakage of blood through blood vessel walls. The two main causes are high blood pressure and atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries due to fat deposition). Strokes vary in severity depending on the site and extent of damage, but can result in long-term paralysis, coma and death. A CT scan is a cross-sectional map of the body created by the computation of X-rays passed through the body at different angles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured computed tomography (CT) brain scan, revealing the devastating effects of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), commonly known as a stroke. The vibrant red region within the image represents an area of internal bleeding or haemorrhage, highlighting the severity of this condition. A stroke occurs when there is an interruption in blood supply to the brain or when blood leaks through vessel walls, resulting in significant brain damage. The two primary causes are high blood pressure and atherosclerosis, which refers to the narrowing of arteries due to fat deposition. The impact of strokes can vary depending on their location and extent. They can lead to long-term paralysis, coma, and even death. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the potential consequences associated with this medical condition. Utilizing computed tomography technology, this cross-sectional map provides valuable insights into the intricate details of our body's inner workings. By capturing X-rays at different angles and computing them together, CT scans offer invaluable diagnostic information for healthcare professionals. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this visually striking representation that encompasses various aspects such as disease, health care, medicine, vascular issues while showcasing cut-outs and rounded circular shapes found within our hemispheres. It is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use but rather focuses on appreciating the scientific value behind such imagery provided by Science Photo Library.
