Healthy kidneys, CT scan

Healthy kidneys, coloured computed tomography (CT) scan. The kidneys are the two C-shaped white organs either side of the spinal vertebra (centre). Below the spine and kidneys are back muscles. The small round area above the spine is the aorta, the bodys main artery. Above and around this are some coils of intestine. CT scanning uses X-rays passed through the body at different angles to build up an image of internal structures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of healthy kidneys. The two C-shaped white organs can be seen on either side of the spinal vertebra, serving as vital components of the urinary system. Positioned below the spine and kidneys are the back muscles, highlighting their close proximity to these essential organs. The image also reveals other significant structures within the abdomen. Just above the spine lies a small round area representing the aorta, which is recognized as the body's main artery responsible for carrying oxygenated blood throughout our system. Surrounding this central feature are coils of intestine, illustrating elements of our digestive system. CT scanning employs X-rays passed through different angles in order to construct detailed images of internal structures like those depicted here. This technology provides valuable insights into various anatomical features and physiological processes occurring within our bodies. With its vibrant false colours and intricate details, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into human biology and medicine. It serves as a reminder of how advanced imaging techniques contribute to our understanding of complex systems such as renal function, bone structure, organ placement, and more.
