Brain aneurysm treatment. Coloured angiogram (blood vessel X-ray), in frontal view, of the head of a 49-year-old patient undergoing treatment for a brain aneurysm. A brain aneurysm is a dangerous swelling in a brain blood vessel. This treatment involves inserting metallic coils (black, centre) into the aneurysm. The X-ray is used to show the position of the coils, placed by electromagnetic controls, and a contrast medium shows the blood vessels (red). The coils cause clotting of blood in the aneurysm, and eventually the blood vessel reforms its wall. This technique is an alternative to direct surgery. The blood vessel being treated here is the basilar artery that supplies the base of the brain.
This application (—>) simulates eye motion and demonstrates the effects of disabling one or more of the 12 eye muscles and one or more of the 6 cranial nerves that control eye motion. The purpose of this simulator is to teach medical students and doctors how the eye motion will change with pathology of the eye muscles and cranial nerves and what to look for during a standard neurological eye exam.

This is a sterogram, to be viewed in crossview technique: cross your eyes, relax your vision until there are three images, then focus on the center image.
Stereoscopic cross view photos can be viewed in three dimension (3D) without special glasses. Most people can learn how to view a cross view photo in just a few minutes:
HYPOXIC-ISCHEMIC ENCEPHALOPATHY Bilateral atrophy in the territory of the middle cerebral artery
Old right MCA (middle cerebral artery) infarct
Hydrocephalus. Severe white matter atrophy
Hemorrhagic meningitis due to inhalation anthrax.
Stroke. Coloured angiogram of the brain of a 48 year old patient after a stroke. There are fewer blood vessels visible compared to normal. This is due to a blocked middle cerebral artery causing areas of ischaemia to parts of the brain. Strokes can be instantly fatal, or may pass unnoticed. Symptoms can include muscle weakness, behavioural changes or paralysis.
