Atherosclerosis, 3D CT scan C016 / 6538

Atherosclerosis. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the hip of a 67 year old patient with hypertension (high blood pressure) and hypercholesterolemia (high blood cholesterol). The iliofemoral arteries (cream) are narrowed due to atherosclerosis, the build up of fatty plaques (atheroma)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of atherosclerosis, a common and potentially dangerous condition affecting the blood vessels. The image, captured through a 3D CT scan, focuses on the hip area of a 67-year-old patient who suffers from hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The vibrant colors in this composite radiography highlight the narrowing of iliofemoral arteries due to fatty plaques known as atheroma. Atherosclerosis occurs when these plaques build up within the arterial walls, obstructing blood flow and posing significant health risks. With its black background emphasizing the gravity of this disease, this print serves as an educational tool for medical professionals and researchers alike. It offers valuable insights into diagnosing arteriosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) by showcasing abnormal narrowing in blood vessels caused by stenosis. The image also sheds light on associated conditions such as high cholesterol levels and hypertension that contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. By visually representing these factors, it underscores how unhealthy lifestyle choices can lead to serious consequences later in life. Through advanced diagnostic techniques like CT scans, three-dimensional angiography allows for precise visualization of vascular abnormalities. This particular photograph provides an exceptional view into one individual's ailment while reminding us all about the importance of maintaining cardiovascular health at any age. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has once again delivered an impactful visual representation that sparks curiosity and promotes understanding within both scientific communities and society as a whole.
