EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a kidney infection, as captured through coloured computed tomography (CT) scans. The image focuses on the abdomen of a 57-year-old patient who is suffering from this condition. The scan reveals an enlarged right kidney, depicted in a vivid pink hue at the bottom right corner of the images. Additionally, it highlights that the renal wall is thickened due to inflammation caused by bacteria traveling up the ureter from the bladder. Kidney infections can be quite debilitating and require prompt medical attention. In this case, treatment involves a course of antibiotics to combat the bacterial infection effectively. This photograph serves as both a diagnostic tool for healthcare professionals and an educational resource for individuals seeking to understand more about this disorder. The image captures not only the physical manifestation of disease but also emphasizes how advanced medical technology like CT scans allows us to explore and comprehend complex conditions within our own bodies. It reminds us of our vulnerability as human beings while highlighting our ability to diagnose and treat such ailments with modern medicine. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has skillfully captured this momentous visual representation, providing valuable insight into nephrology and urology fields for researchers, doctors, students, and anyone interested in understanding diseases affecting vital organs like kidneys.
