Pre-impact Condition - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical exhibit features a silhouette view of a 6-year-old female shown seated in a symbolic bench seat with a lap belt. This image illustrates the moment of impact. This flexion action results in a severe dislocation of the thoracic spine and spinal cord compression at the T9-11 region. The internal organs are dramatically compressed centered on the liver, diaphragm and lower lungs.
