Spondylodiscitis, MRI scan
Spondylodiscitis. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal section through the spine of a 69-year-old patient with spondylodiscitis at the level of the T7-T8 vertebra, causing compression of the spinal cord (upper centre). Spondylodiscitis is a combination of discitis (inflammation of one or more intervertebral disc spaces) and spondylitis (inflammation of one or more vertebrae)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a sagittal section through the spine of a 69-year-old patient with spondylodiscitis. The condition is observed at the level of the T7-T8 vertebra, resulting in compression of the spinal cord visible at the upper center of the image. Spondylodiscitis is an amalgamation of discitis, which refers to inflammation within intervertebral disc spaces, and spondylitis, characterized by inflammation affecting one or more vertebrae. The black background intensifies our focus on this medical anomaly that affects both biology and medicine. This detailed anatomical representation reveals an unhealthy state where the vertebrae are compressed and inflamed, causing disorder within the spine. The radiography highlights abnormalities in this specific region of the human body's central nervous system (CNS). Through advanced diagnostic imaging techniques like MRI scans, healthcare professionals can accurately assess conditions such as spondylodiscitis. In orthopedics and neurology alike, understanding these intricate sections allows for effective treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. This photograph serves as a reminder of how medical advancements enable us to delve deep into our biological structures and uncover ailments that were once hidden mysteries. It emphasizes both scientific progress and compassionate care for individuals experiencing complex spinal disorders like spondylodiscitis.
