False-colour normal abdominal angiogram
Normal abdominal angiogram: false-colour abdominal angiogram showing the normal appearance of the aorta and upper iliac arteries of an 81 year old man. The division, or bifurcation, of the aorta into the left & right iliac arteries appears as an inverted Y. The patient was suffering from extensive peripheral arterial disease lower down his left leg (at right here), but these lesions are not visible in this image. Abdominal angiography is an X-ray technique in which the arteries are outlined by radio-opaque contrast medium, introduced through a catheter inserted via the femoral artery. Compare with M175/053 et seq, angiograms of the lower femoral & popliteal arteries, with a prosthetic stent inserted in the left leg to compensate for occlusion by atheroma plaques

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour normal abdominal angiogram, providing a glimpse into the intricate vascular system of an 81-year-old man. The image beautifully captures the aorta and upper iliac arteries, displaying their normal appearance in vibrant hues. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the inverted Y-shaped division where the aorta branches off into the left and right iliac arteries. Although this particular patient was grappling with extensive peripheral arterial disease lower down his left leg, these lesions remain unseen within this image. Abdominal angiography, an X-ray technique involving the use of radio-opaque contrast medium, was employed to outline the arteries. This contrast medium was introduced through a catheter inserted via the femoral artery. To fully comprehend this remarkable visual representation, it is recommended to compare it with M175/053 et seq - angiograms of the lower femoral and popliteal arteries. These additional images reveal a prosthetic stent inserted in the left leg as compensation for occlusion caused by atheroma plaques. The photograph not only delves into blood vessels' anatomy but also serves as an ode to medical imaging technology's capabilities. Science Photo Library has once again captured both scientific precision and artistic beauty in one frame without mentioning any commercial usage intentions or affiliations with companies.
