Blood supply of the hand, angiograms C018 / 0388
Blood supply of the hand. Coloured angiograms (X-rays) 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. The image, captured through coloured angiograms (X-rays) of the blood vessels in the right hand of a 65-year-old patient, highlights the abnormality caused by this disorder. In Dupuytren's contracture, one or more fingers become fixed in a bent position due to thickening and shortening of tissue in the palm. The focus of this angiogram is on the little finger, which vividly demonstrates how this condition restricts movement by preventing tendons from functioning freely. This diagnostic procedure plays a crucial role before surgery to correct Dupuytren's contracture as it helps evaluate the precise locations of blood vessels within the hand. The photograph not only provides valuable insights into an unhealthy medical condition but also serves as a reminder of our complex human anatomy. It emphasizes that even seemingly small abnormalities can have significant impacts on our daily lives. Through its detailed depiction of arteries, veins, and capillaries intertwined within the hand, this image underscores both scientific knowledge and medical advancements. It invites viewers to appreciate how radiography technology enables us to explore and understand various diseases affecting different parts of our body. This remarkable print is part of ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's collection and stands as a testament to their commitment to capturing powerful visuals that contribute to scientific research and education.
