Healthy brain and eyes, CT scan
Healthy brain and eyes. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a human head. The axial (horizontal) scan has revealed the head and brain in cross section at eye-level. The front of the head is at top. The circular structures at the top are the eyeballs. Between them are the sinuses (dark), air spaces lined with mucous membranes. The brain (orange) fills the remainder of the skull (pale). CT scanning uses beams of X-rays fired at different angles to build up slice images through the body. It is useful for detecting many brain disorders such as haemorrhages or tumours

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and healthy brain and eyes through a coloured computed tomography (CT) scan. The image provides a cross-sectional view of the human head at eye-level, with the front of the head positioned at the top. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the circular structures representing the eyeballs, exuding vitality and clarity. Between these lively orbs lie dark sinuses - air spaces lined with mucous membranes that contribute to our respiratory system. As we delve deeper into this remarkable visual representation, we encounter an orange-colored brain filling up most of the skull's pale contours. This intricate organ serves as the epicenter of our thoughts, emotions, and cognitive abilities. The CT scanning technique employed here utilizes X-ray beams projected from various angles to construct slice images throughout the body. Its diagnostic potential is invaluable in identifying numerous brain disorders such as haemorrhages or tumours that may impede optimal neurological function. This photograph not only offers insight into our anatomy but also highlights how advancements in medical imaging technology have revolutionized neurology and diagnosis. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding our own biological intricacies for improved healthcare outcomes.
