Tumour blood vessels. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of blood vessels inside a malignant (cancerous) tumour of the colon. The vessels are colour coded based on their thickness. Red vessels are thickest,green and yellow vessels are of intermediate thickness,and blue vessels are the thinnest. Growing tumours are able to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels,providing a direct blood supply. This process is known as angiogenesis. This scan was used to print a 3D resin cast of the vessels | |
