Aorta, 3D CT scan F006 / 9119
Aorta. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the aorta of a 54 year old patient. The aorta is the bodys main artery. It carries blood from the heart (upper centre) to the rest of the body. At centre left and right are the kidneys, with the renal arteries seen branching from the aorta. At lower centre the aorta branches into the iliac arteries, which serve the legs. There are small fatty plaques (white, atherosclerosis) in the lower aorta and iliac arteries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 3D CT scan of the aorta, the body's primary artery, belonging to a 54-year-old patient. The image is brilliantly colored and reveals intricate details of the circulatory system. Positioned at the upper center is the heart, which pumps blood through this vital vessel to nourish every part of our body. Flanking it on both sides are the kidneys, with their renal arteries branching out from the aorta. As we move towards lower center, we witness an essential division where the aorta splits into iliac arteries that supply blood to our legs. However, what catches our attention are small fatty plaques in white color scattered along these lower sections - signs of atherosclerosis or cholesterol plaque build-up. The black background accentuates this detailed anatomical representation while emphasizing its scientific nature. This half-length image provides valuable insights into human anatomy and highlights potential health concerns related to circulation and organ function. Captured using advanced computer tomography technology, this three-dimensional angiogram sheds light on various aspects of cardiovascular health and internal organs' well-being. It serves as an invaluable resource for medical professionals studying diseases affecting blood vessels like renal artery issues or abnormalities within abdominal structures such as iliac arteries. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has skillfully captured this stunning visual representation without any commercial intent but rather with scientific purposes in mind.
