Aortic aneurysm CT scan

Aortic aneurysm, coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan. Side view of the abdomen of a 65-year-old patient with an extended aneurysm of the aorta. An aortic aneurysm is a swelling of the aorta, usually due to an underlying weakness in the wall of the artery. This may lead to rupture, causing severe pain, massive internal haemorrhage (bleeding), and, if left untreated, death

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of an aortic aneurysm. The image provides a side view of the abdomen of a 65-year-old patient, revealing an extended swelling in the aorta. An aortic aneurysm occurs when there is weakness in the artery wall, leading to potential rupture and life-threatening consequences if left untreated. The visual representation highlights the intricate details of this medical condition, emphasizing its severity and impact on the human body. The swollen area can be seen prominently against the backdrop of skeletal structures such as ribs and bones, giving viewers insight into how this disorder affects various parts of the circulatory system. With its vibrant colours and three-dimensional perspective, this CT scan offers valuable diagnostic information for healthcare professionals specializing in cardiology and radiology. By utilizing advanced imaging techniques like computed tomography, doctors can accurately diagnose and assess conditions like aortic aneurysms. This thought-provoking image serves as both educational material for medical students studying vascular disorders and as a reminder to individuals about their own health. It underscores the importance of seeking timely medical attention for any abnormalities or symptoms related to cardiovascular health. Captured by Science Photo Library's expert photographers, this striking print encapsulates both scientific precision and artistic beauty while shedding light on one of medicine's critical challenges - managing potentially fatal conditions like aortic aneurysms at different stages in life.
