Aorta, 3D CT scan F006 / 9120
Aorta. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the aorta of a 54 year old patient. The aorta is the bodys main artery. It carries blood from the heart (upper centre) to the rest of the body. At centre left and right are the kidneys, with the renal arteries seen branching from the aorta. At lower centre the aorta branches into the iliac arteries, which serve the legs. There are small fatty plaques (white, atherosclerosis) in the lower aorta and iliac arteries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed 3D CT scan of the aorta, the body's primary artery, belonging to a 54-year-old patient. Colored in vibrant hues against a serene blue background, this image provides an intricate view of the circulatory system and its vital components. At the upper center lies the heart, from where blood is pumped into this magnificent arterial highway. Branching out from the central aorta are two renal arteries that lead to the kidneys, positioned at center left and right. These organs play a crucial role in filtering waste products from our bloodstream. Moving towards lower center, we witness another significant division as the aorta splits into iliac arteries responsible for supplying blood to our legs. However, upon closer inspection, small fatty plaques can be observed within these regions – indicative of atherosclerosis or cholesterol plaque buildup. The level of detail captured by this 3D CT scan allows us to delve deep into human anatomy and gain valuable insights about various health conditions affecting internal organs like the abdomen. This scientific imaging technique aids healthcare professionals in diagnosing abnormalities within our cardiovascular system and ensuring effective treatment plans for patients. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has skillfully transformed medical data into an artistic masterpiece that not only educates but also captivates viewers with its stunning visual representation of our intricate circulatory network.
