Human arm, infrared image C013 / 7325
MODEL RELEASED. Human arm. Infrared image of the anterior surface of the right-hand arm of a 24-year-old man. Infrared lighting can be used to visualize subcutaneous structures (those below the surface of the skin) that are not visible or less visible in normal lighting. These structures include superficial veins. Several superficial veins are seen in the arm. Infrared imaging of these veins can be used for diagnostic purposes, and to aid location of veins for injections and treatments such as laser interstitial therapy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a human arm in an infrared image. The subject is a 24-year-old man, and through the use of infrared lighting, subcutaneous structures that are usually invisible or less visible under normal lighting conditions become vividly apparent. In this case, several superficial veins can be observed running across the anterior surface of the right-hand arm. Infrared imaging plays a crucial role in diagnostics as it aids in locating veins for injections and treatments like laser interstitial therapy. By visualizing these veins with precision, medical professionals can ensure accurate diagnoses and effective interventions. This technique proves particularly useful when dealing with circulatory system disorders or other conditions requiring detailed examination of blood vessels. The monochrome composition adds to the overall impact of this image by highlighting the anatomical intricacies without distraction. It serves as a reminder of our incredible biological makeup and how technology enables us to explore its depths further. Larry Dunstan's expertise behind this photograph captures not only scientific accuracy but also artistic beauty. Through his lens, we gain insight into both the complexity and elegance inherent in our bodies' inner workings—a testament to humanity's continuous pursuit of understanding ourselves on every level imaginable.
