Ectopic IUD contraceptive, X-ray F008 / 3473
Ectopic IUD contraceptive. Coloured X-ray of the lower abdomen of a 28 year old female patient, showing an ectopic (abnormally positioned) intrauterine device (IUD, orange). An IUD is a T-shaped piece of plastic or metal that inhibits pregnancy by preventing the fertilised egg from embedding in the uterine wall. The IUD here should be inside the uterus (lower centre)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an X-ray image of a 28-year-old female patient's lower abdomen, revealing an ectopic intrauterine device (IUD) contraceptive. The vibrant orange color highlights the abnormal positioning of the IUD within the patient's uterus. An IUD is a T-shaped device made of plastic or metal that effectively prevents pregnancy by obstructing the fertilized egg from implanting into the uterine wall. In this case, however, the IUD should ideally be located in the lower center of the uterus but has deviated from its intended position. The intricate skeletal structure and internal organs visible in this front view radiograph provide valuable insights into human anatomy and medical illustrations. This scientific imaging serves as a vital tool for healthcare professionals to diagnose and treat various conditions related to reproductive health. While this particular image emphasizes an unhealthy condition due to its abnormality, it sheds light on contraception methods like IUDs that play a crucial role in family planning and reproductive choices for women worldwide. Science Photo Library continues to contribute immensely to scientific research by providing high-quality visual resources like this one. Their dedication ensures that medical professionals have access to accurate representations of human anatomy, aiding them in delivering optimal healthcare outcomes.
