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). This ligament is one of the four major ligaments holding the knee joint together, joining the femur (thigh bone, top) and the tibia (bottom). Injuries to this ligament are a relatively common sporting injury, and surgery is needed to restore full function to the knee. Here, the injured area is the yellow area (centre) between the ends of the two bones (white)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured computer tomography (CT) scan of a knee joint, specifically highlighting an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. The ACL is one of the vital ligaments that holds the knee joint together, connecting the femur and tibia bones. Injuries to this ligament are quite common in sports and often require surgical intervention for complete recovery. The image reveals the injured area as a vibrant yellow region at the center, situated between the two bone ends depicted in white. This false-coloured representation allows medical professionals to accurately diagnose and assess the severity of such injuries. By providing an intricate view into the human body, this CT scan print emphasizes both the fragility and resilience of our musculoskeletal system. It serves as a powerful reminder of how even seemingly minor sporting incidents can lead to significant damage within our joints. Science Photo Library offers us access to these remarkable visuals that bridge medicine with artistry. Through their collection, we gain insight into various conditions, disorders, and diagnostic techniques used in modern healthcare practices.
