Narrowed aorta, 3D CT scans
Narrowed aorta. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scans of the heart (centre of each scan) and major blood vessels of a 50-year-old patient, showing congenital narrowing (stenosis) of he thoracic aorta (large, vertical, tube). The narrowed section of the aorta will be replaced with a prosthetic tube and the aortic valve (between the heart and aorta) with a prosthetic valve

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a 50-year-old patient's narrowed aorta through colored 3D computed tomography (CT) scans. The central focus of each scan is the heart, surrounded by major blood vessels. In this particular case, the patient suffers from congenital narrowing or stenosis of the thoracic aorta, which poses significant health risks. To address this condition, medical intervention is necessary. A prosthetic tube will be used to replace the narrowed section of the aorta, while a prosthetic valve will be employed between the heart and aorta. These surgical measures aim to restore proper blood flow and alleviate potential complications associated with this abnormality. The black background serves as an artistic backdrop for highlighting this medical anomaly that falls within cardiology and radiology domains. By assessing these detailed CT scans, healthcare professionals can diagnose vascular diseases like aortic stenosis and evaluate blood circulation in order to plan appropriate pre-operative procedures. This image not only provides valuable insight into human anatomy but also emphasizes how advanced diagnostic imaging techniques such as computed tomography play an essential role in modern medicine. It serves as a reminder of our continuous efforts to understand and improve cardiovascular health for individuals facing similar challenges at any stage of life.
