Gallbladder and biliary tree, 3D MRI
Gallbladder and biliary tree. Three-dimensional magnetic resonance image (MRI) showing the gallbladder (round) and biliary tract (branching). This imaging technique is known as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) when used to image this area of the body. The biliary tree is the collection of vessels through which bile passes from the liver, where it is produced, and into the duodenum and small intestine where it aids digestion of fats (lipids). The gallbladder stores bile. Here the gallbladder and biliary tree are distended due to gallstones and a stricture (narrowing, not seen)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a three-dimensional magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the gallbladder and biliary tree. The intricate network of vessels, known as the biliary tree, carries bile from the liver to aid in digestion. The round shape represents the gallbladder, which stores this vital substance. The use of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) allows for detailed imaging of this region within the body. In this particular image, we can observe that both the gallbladder and biliary tree are distended due to the presence of gallstones and an unseen stricture or narrowing. With its black background highlighting every detail, this print provides valuable insights into anatomy and diagnosis within the digestive system. It serves as a reminder that maintaining a healthy bile flow is crucial for proper digestion of fats (lipids). Radiography techniques like MRI scans play a significant role in medical diagnostics by capturing abnormalities such as narrowing or strictures in blood vessels. This particular image offers an exceptional view into these structures, aiding healthcare professionals in their understanding and treatment plans. Science Photo Library continues to provide remarkable visuals like this one that contribute to our knowledge of human anatomy while emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention when it comes to gastrointestinal health issues such as gallstones or other obstructions within our complex bodily systems.
