We are very pleased to announce that at the Wellcome Image Awards 2012 ceremony which took place in London last night Robert Ludlow, medical photographer at the 香港六合彩中特网 Institute of Neurology, 香港六合彩中特网H National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery Medical Illustration Unit was named as the overall winner.

This is the first time a single image has been awarded this accolade in the twelve year history of this prestigious event.

Robert鈥檚 stunning image 鈥淚ntracranial recording for epilepsy鈥� shows the surface of a patient鈥檚 brain during surgery at the 香港六合彩中特网H National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square.

Professor Alice Roberts, who was a member of the judging panel, said: 鈥淭his is a remarkable image of a human brain. What makes it so different from most images of the surface of the brain is that this organ is living- this is a brain as it is encountered during neurosurgery".

鈥淭hrough the skill of the photographer, we have the privilege of seeing something that is normally hidden away inside our skulls. The arteries are bright scarlet with oxygenated blood, the veins deep purple and the 鈥榞rey matter鈥� of the brain a flushed, delicate pink. It is quite extraordinary.鈥�

Derek Tutssel, Head of the Medical Illustration Unit, is pictured receiving the award from Fergus Walsh of the BBC on behalf of Robert Ludlow who was attending the birth of his son.

Upon receiving news the award, Robert Ludlow commented: "I feel very privileged and very proud at winning this award"
