Head, side view, MRI scan

Head from the side, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The brain (light blue, folded) fills the cerebrum of the skull (white). At centre left is an eyeball (dark blue circle). Below this is a sinus (air space, black). At centre right is the cerebellum (light blue oval). This part of the brain controls posture and co-ordination, and is also responsible for attention and some language processing. The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum. The various parts of the cerebrum control conscious thoughts and actions, sensory perception and memory. MRI scanning uses a powerful magnet and radio frequency pulses to image internal structures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a side view of the human head, captured through the remarkable technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The intricate details within this image reveal the complexity and beauty of our brain. The cerebrum, depicted in a mesmerizing light blue hue, dominates the skull as it folds upon itself. This largest part of the brain governs conscious thoughts, actions, sensory perception, and memory. At the center left of this extraordinary composition lies an eye ball represented by a striking dark blue circle. Just below it is an air space known as a sinus, portrayed in deep black. On the opposite side at center right rests the cerebellum - responsible for posture control, coordination, attention, and language processing. It appears as an elegant light blue oval. The significance of MRI scanning becomes evident when considering its ability to visualize internal structures using powerful magnets and radio frequency pulses. Through this non-invasive diagnostic technique, medical professionals gain invaluable insights into our physiological makeup. This awe-inspiring photograph from Science Photo Library not only highlights our incredible anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in understanding and exploring our own bodies' complexities.
