Lung. Coloured bronchography (X-ray) of a healthy human lung. A contrast medium has been added to show the network of airways (green) in the right lung

Lungs and heart, X-ray
Lungs and heart, coloured chest X-ray. The lungs and heart are enclosed and protected by the ribs (horizontal bars) which meet at the breastbone, or sternum (down centre)

Spine, computer artwork. Human skeleton with a blue spine. The spine, or backbone, supports the back and protects the spinal cord

Skeleton from above, X-ray artwork
Skeleton. Computer X-ray artwork of a human skeleton viewed from above

Abdominal bones, 3-D CT scan
Abdominal bones, coloured 3-D computer tomography (CT) scan. The lower part of the ribcage is in upper frame, with the pelvis in lower frame. They are connected by the spine, which runs down centre

Spine, computer artwork
Spine. Computer artwork showing the bones of the spine, shoulder and pelvis on the human body. The spine, or backbone, supports the back and protects the spinal cord

Upper body skeleton. Computer artwork of a glass- effect human female body in side view showing the skeletal structure of the head and torso

Heart pacemaker, X-ray
Heart pacemaker. Coloured chest X-ray showing a surgically-implanted heart pacemaker (red, centre right). The pacemaker supplies electrical impulses along leads (running to lower centre)

Sarcoidosis of the lungs, X-ray
Sarcoidosis. Frontal coloured chest X-ray of the lungs of a patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Affected lung tissue shows up as red patches

Lungs, X-ray

Lungs, CT scans
Lungs. Sequence of six coloured axial CT (computed tomography) scans through the upper chest of a 52- year-old woman. The front of the chest is at top, and the right of the body is at left

Heart, chest X-ray

Upper body bones, computer artwork. The skull (top) consists of the cranium, which encloses the brain and the jaw (mandible)

Ribcage and upper body, computer artwork. The spine, which consists of blocks of bone (vertebrae) separated by spongy intervertebral discs, runs down centre

Female ribcage and upper body, computer artwork. The spine, which consists of blocks of bone (vertebrae) separated by spongy intervertebral discs, runs down centre

Healthy lower back, X-ray
Healthy lower back, coloured X-ray. The spine runs down centre. It is made up of vertebrae, block- shaped bones that support and protect the spinal cord (not seen)

Torso nerves. Historical anatomical artwork of the nerves (white) of parts of a human torso. At lower frame, a side view of the abdomen (front of body at left) shows muscles (red)

Spinal column. Historical artwork of the bones of the human spine and pelvis, seen from the front. The backbone (vertical)

Spinal bones and ligaments. Historical anatomical artwork of thoracic (upper) spinal bones (yellow, vertebrae) and ligaments (white)

Chronic bronchitis, X-ray
Chronic bronchitis, coloured X-ray. This condition almost exclusively affects smokers. It is often associated with emphysema, which is known as COLD (chronic obstructive lung disease)

Osteoporosis of spine, X-ray
Osteoporosis. Coloured X-ray of a rear view of the lumbar (lower) spine of an elderly woman showing scoliosis (sideways curvature) of the spine caused by osteoporosis

Bronchitis, X-ray
Bronchitis. Coloured bronchography (X-ray) of swollen bronchioles (orange) in the right lung. Bronchitis causes the network of airways in the lungs to become swollen and produce mucus

Torso bones, computer artwork
Torso bones of a human skeleton seen from the front, computer artwork. The arm bones are raised to either side, with the base of the skull at top

Female torso, X-ray
Female torso. Coloured frontal X-ray of a normal female torso, showing the bottom of the lungs (black, top), ribs radiating from upper centre, breasts (upper left and right)

Radiologists examining an X-ray
MODEL RELEASED. Radiologists studying an X-ray of a patients chest

Human skeleton, computer artwork
Human skeleton. Computer artwork of the rear view of a human skeleton showing head and shoulders, superimposed with a wireframe

Intestines, artwork

Ribcage, computer artwork
Ribcage. Computer artwork of the pectoral girdle and ribcage as seen from the front

Human internal organs, diagram
Human internal organs. Diagram showing the human internal organs in the head and torso. In the head, the organs and cavities shown are: the brain (encephalon), the cerebellum (part of the brain)
