Pancreas Surrounded by the Kidneys Liver and Spleen

This piece is derived from a CT scan and shows the upper abdominal cavity with the pancreas, surrounded by the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The aorta and inferior vena cava are the major transport vessels and serve to connect the organs. The pancreas which is the quiet one of this family (aka hermit of the abdomen) in this piece is front and center. The soft green and orange colors give a peaceful and comforting ambiance to the art piece.
