Vascular neurological intervention. Surgeon monitoring scans of a patient during an intervention to treat a vascular neurological disorder. This is a speciality known as neurointerventional radiology, and conditions treated include strokes and other brain disorders. Scanning techniques include X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans. The screen shows the patient's mouth, including the fillings in the teeth. The dark lines are catheters inserted into the patient's blood vessels. Photographed in 2010, in Leiden, the Netherlands.
