Arteriograph of the coronary arteries of the heart
Arteriograph, tinted pink, of the coronary arteries of a normal heart. Arteriography is the x-ray examination of an artery that has been outlined by prior injection of a radio-opaque contrast medium. The technique is used mainly to demonstrate the site and extent of atheroma (the degenerative change in the inner and middle coats of arteries). Original is BW print P216/038

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an arteriograph of the coronary arteries in a normal human heart. Tinted in a delicate shade of pink, this image reveals the intricate network of arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. The technique used to capture this remarkable view is known as arteriography, which involves injecting a radio-opaque contrast medium into the artery and then conducting an x-ray examination. Arteriography plays a crucial role in diagnosing and assessing conditions such as atheroma, which refers to degenerative changes occurring within the inner and middle layers of arteries. By highlighting the site and extent of these pathological alterations, medical professionals can better understand their impact on cardiovascular health. The black-and-white original print from Science Photo Library has been transformed into an awe-inspiring visual representation that emphasizes both scientific precision and artistic beauty. This photograph offers viewers a rare glimpse into one of our body's most vital systems—the intricate network responsible for nourishing our life-sustaining organ, the heart.
