Varicose veins, thermogram
MODEL RELEASED. Varicose veins. Varicose veins. Thermogram of the legs of a 56-year-old woman, showing severe varicose veins in the left leg (right). Varicose veins are lengthened and dilated veins that can develop just below the surface of the skin. They can occur for no apparent reason. Here the varicose veins appear hotter (red) than the rest of the leg. The colour-coded heat display here runs from purple and blue (coolest) through green and yellow, to red and white (hottest)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the thermogram of a 56-year-old woman's legs, revealing severe varicose veins in her left leg. Varicose veins are elongated and dilated veins that can develop just beneath the skin's surface, often without any apparent cause. In this image, the varicose veins appear hotter (depicted as red) compared to the rest of her leg. The color-coded heat display employed here ranges from purple and blue (representing cooler temperatures) through green and yellow, all the way to red and white (indicating higher temperatures). This visual representation allows us to observe distinct temperature differences within the woman's circulatory system. Varicose veins are not only aesthetically displeasing but also signify an unhealthy condition. The photograph emphasizes how these abnormal vessels disrupt proper circulation in a person's body. By utilizing thermography, which measures body heat patterns, we gain valuable insights into this medical disorder affecting countless individuals. It is important to note that this print is accompanied by a model release; hence it features a consenting adult female patient. While we appreciate its scientific value in understanding varicose vein pathology and associated temperature differences within our vascular system, it is crucial not to mention commercial use or associate it with any specific company. Overall, this thought-provoking image sheds light on an intriguing aspect of human anatomy while reminding us of the significance of maintaining healthy circulation throughout our bodies.
