Sagittal Collection (#3)

Brainstem and cerebellum. Historical artwork of a vertical section through the brainstem (rod-shaped structure from lower right to upper left) and the cerebellum (round)

Spine degeneration, MRI scan
Spine degeneration. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the lumbar (lower) region of a patients back showing spinal degeneration. The base of the spine is at lower right

Normal head and brain, MRI scan
Normal head and brain. Coloured profile (sagittal) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan through the centre of the head and brain

Normal brain, MRI scan
Normal human brain. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a human head. The sagittal (side view) scan has revealed the head in cross section, passing through the left ear

Brain and spinal cord. Computer artwork of a healthy brain and upper spinal cord (centre to lower centre)

Brain and spinal cord
Brain. Computer artwork of a side view of a healthy human brain. At centre is one of the hemispheres of the cerebrum, which is responsible for conscious thought, emotion and voluntary movement

Doctors examining MRI scans
MODEL RELEASED. Doctors examining MRI scans. The scans are sagittal (side view) sections through a patients head. MRI is an important diagnostic tool that allows imaging of internal structures

Brain scans. Sagittal (sideways) scan through the head, revealing the brain structure. The front of the head is at left. The scan shows the convoluted folds of the outer region

Mouth and throat anatomy, artwork

Anterior cruciate ligament tear, CT scan
Anterior cruciate ligament tear. Coloured computer tomography (CT) scan of the knee joint of a patient with a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Nose and brain anatomy, artwork
Nose and brain anatomy. Artwork of a sagittal section through the human head, showing the anatomy of the brain and nasal cavity

Brain antomy, 19th century artwork
Brain anatomy, 19th century artwork. Artwork from the 1886 ninth edition of Moses and Geology (Samuel Kinns, London). This book was originally published in 1882
