Blood supply of the hand, angiogram C018 / 0386
Blood supply of the hand. Coloured angiogram (X-ray) of the blood vessels of the right hand of a 65 year old patient with Dupuytrens contracture. This disorder causes one or more fingers to become fixed in a bent position. Here it is the little finger. It occurs when tissue in the palm of the hand thickens and shortens, preventing the tendons attached to the fingers from moving freely. This angiogram is being taken prior to surgery to correct the disorder, in order to evaluate the locations of blood vessels

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate blood supply of a hand affected by Dupuytren's contracture, a disorder that causes fingers to become fixed in a bent position. The image reveals the coloured angiogram (X-ray) of the blood vessels in the right hand of a 65-year-old patient. Specifically, it highlights the little finger, which is most severely impacted by this condition. Dupuytren's contracture occurs when tissue in the palm thickens and shortens, restricting free movement of tendons attached to the fingers. In preparation for surgery aimed at correcting this disorder, this angiogram is being taken to evaluate and map out the locations of blood vessels within the hand. The photograph not only offers valuable insight into an unhealthy medical condition but also emphasizes how age can play a role in such disorders. With its detailed depiction of arteries, capillaries, veins, and other components of our complex circulatory system, this image serves as an essential diagnostic tool for healthcare professionals. Captured by ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, renowned for their expertise in scientific imagery, this print provides an invaluable visual aid for medical professionals studying or treating Dupuytren's contracture. It exemplifies how advancements in radiography technology enable us to better understand and address various diseases affecting different parts of our remarkable human body.
