A Child’s Shattered Brain

Helen Carlson

This image is an illustration of a child's brain that has been shattered by a massive stroke at birth. The original image was an axial slice from a T1-weighted anatomical scan that showed a very large arterial ischemic stroke on the right side of the brain. It was then combined with an image of a stained glass window using a machine learning algorithm (https://deepart.io/) that combines stylistic elements of both images. I hope this image captures both the fragility and the beauty of a child’s brain, even one that has been shattered by stroke.
