Subarachnoid haemorrhage, MRI scan
Subarachnoid haemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of an axial section through the brain of a patient with a subarachnoid haematoma (light grey, centre left), a solid mass of blood below the arachnoid membrane, the middle of the three membranes that cover the brain. Bleeding (haemorrhage) in the brain occurs when a blood vessel, such as an artery, ruptures. It may be caused by a head injury, high blood pressure or vascular disease. The area of the brain supplied by the ruptured artery may die due to lack of oxygenated blood, leading to a stroke

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a subarachnoid haemorrhage, as revealed by an MRI scan. The image depicts an axial section through the brain of a patient, highlighting a subarachnoid haematoma in light grey at the center-left. This solid mass of blood is located below the arachnoid membrane, one of three protective layers enveloping the brain. Subarachnoid haemorrhages occur when blood vessels within the brain rupture, often resulting from head injuries, high blood pressure, or vascular disease. Such bleeding can lead to severe consequences such as strokes if not promptly addressed. The affected region supplied by the ruptured artery may suffer oxygen deprivation and subsequent cell death. The monochromatic composition against a black background accentuates both the beauty and complexity of this medical condition. It serves as a powerful visual reminder that our bodies are vulnerable to injury and disease even at their most intricate levels. This thought-provoking image invites viewers into the realm of diagnostic medicine where cutting-edge technology like MRI scanners enables healthcare professionals to accurately identify abnormalities within our bodies. By shedding light on conditions like subarachnoid haemorrhages, it emphasizes both the importance and limitations of medical knowledge in understanding and treating complex disorders.
