Coloured CT scan of human spleen, stomach and liver
Human spleen. Coloured Computed Tomography (CT) scan of an axial section through the abdomen, showing the spleen, stomach and liver. At lower centre is a vertebral bone of the spine (white); rib bones (white) surround the internal organs. The spleen (pink) is seen behind the stomach (green); the abdomen at this level is occupied largely by the liver (orange). The spleen is part of the lymphatic system, involved in processing white blood cells (lymphocytes). It also regulates the number of red blood cells in the bloodstream by destroying old cells. CT scanning is a diagnos- tic technique which uses X-rays to produce cross- sectional " slices" through the body

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured CT scan of the human spleen, stomach, and liver. The intricate details captured in this axial section through the abdomen are truly remarkable. At the lower centre of the image, a vertebral bone of the spine stands out in white, while rib bones surround and protect these vital internal organs. The spleen, depicted in a delicate shade of pink behind the vibrant green stomach, plays an essential role as part of our lymphatic system. It is responsible for processing white blood cells known as lymphocytes and also acts as a regulator for red blood cell count by eliminating old cells from circulation. Taking up most of the space within this abdominal level is the liver portrayed in an eye-catching orange hue. This large organ performs numerous crucial functions such as detoxification, metabolism regulation, and bile production. Utilizing X-rays to generate cross-sectional "slices" throughout the body, CT scanning serves as an invaluable diagnostic technique. By providing detailed images like this one, medical professionals can gain valuable insights into various anatomical structures and potential abnormalities that aid in accurate diagnoses. This stunning photograph from Science Photo Library offers a glimpse into our complex digestive system while highlighting both its beauty and functionality with incredible precision.
