Chronic liver disease, CT scan
Chronic liver disease. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of an axial section through the abdominopelvic region of a 58-year-old patient with a history of hepatitis C. Front of the body is at top. The disease has caused cirrhosis of the liver tissue, accumulation of fluid under the skin (oedema, or dropsy), and accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity (ascites)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of an axial section through the abdominopelvic region of a 58-year-old patient with chronic liver disease. The image, set against a striking black background, reveals the devastating effects of this condition on the liver tissue. The patient's history of hepatitis C has led to cirrhosis, causing significant damage and inflammation in the liver. As a result, fluid accumulation can be observed both under the skin (known as oedema or dropsy) and within the peritoneal cavity (referred to as ascites). These distressing symptoms are evident in this detailed CT scan. The vibrant colours used in this print highlight various aspects of this diseased organ. The abnormality is clearly visible, emphasizing the severity and impact that chronic liver disease can have on one's health. This medical image provides valuable insight into diagnostic imaging techniques such as radiography and computed tomography. With its focus on hepatology and hepatic disorders, this photograph serves as an important educational tool for medical professionals and students alike. Its cut-out presentation allows for easy examination of specific areas affected by fluid excess or hydroperitoneum. Science Photo Library continues to deliver exceptional visual resources like these that contribute to our understanding of complex medical conditions while showcasing their expertise in capturing remarkable scientific imagery.
