Brain tumour, MRI scans
Brain tumour. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of sections through the head of a 23-year-old patient with a lesion (dark patches, upper centre-right; lower left and right) in the cerebellum indicative of the presence of a medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant (cancerous) primary brain tumor that originates in the cerebellum or posterior fossa regions of the brain. It is invasive and rapidly growing tumours and, unlike most brain tumours, spreads through the cerebrospinal fluid and frequently metastasizes to different locations in the brain and spine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a brain tumour through coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The image depicts sections of the head of a 23-year-old patient, revealing dark patches in the cerebellum region, indicating the presence of a medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma is an aggressive and highly malignant primary brain tumor that originates in the cerebellum or posterior fossa regions. Unlike most brain tumors, this particular type spreads rapidly through the cerebrospinal fluid and frequently metastasizes to different locations within the brain and spine. The black background enhances the visual impact, drawing attention to this abnormality within the human body. The profile view allows viewers to appreciate both its anatomical location and its invasive nature. This medical marvel serves as a diagnostic tool for radiologists and oncologists alike, aiding them in identifying such cancerous lesions accurately. With its vibrant colors contrasting against a cut-out backdrop, this image offers insight into biology, medicine, anatomy, and pathology all at once. It serves as a reminder of how advanced diagnostic imaging techniques like MRI play an essential role in healthcare by enabling early detection and treatment planning for patients with conditions like medulloblastoma. Captured by Science Photo Library's expert photographers, this print is not only visually striking but also scientifically informative—a testament to their commitment to capturing images that bridge artistry with scientific knowledge.
