Pictures & Images

Heart, section through the middle

The interior of the heart is composed of valves, chambers, and associated vessels.

Aortic rupture, chest x-ray

Aortic rupture (a tear in the aorta, which is the major artery coming from the heart) can be seen on a chest x-ray. In this case, it was caused by a traumatic perforation of the thoracic aorta. This is how the x-ray appears when the chest is full of blood (right-sided hemothorax) seen here as cloudiness on the left side of the picture.
