Bile Ducts at Dusk
The AiA rendering is from a confluence of the bile ducts, and biliary radicles from an ERCP. The ductal system has a tree like shape.
Artistically a mysterious and somewhat scary scene is created with a moon and a sun at dusk. One can almost imagine a witch on a broom screeching through the night sky in this scene .
