Tension pneumothorax, X-ray
Tension pneumothorax. X-ray of the chest of a patient with tension pneumothorax that has lead to soft-tissue emphysema. Tension pneumothorax is a progressive deterioration and worsening of a simple pneumothorax (collapsed lung). The right lung (dark area, right) has collapsed due to a build-up of air (solid grey) between the lung and chest wall. In emphysema, the lung tissues necessary to support the physical shape and function of the lung are destroyed. It is a progressive disease that primarily causes shortness of breath

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating effects of tension pneumothorax on a patient's chest X-ray. The image reveals the progression of this condition, which starts as a simple collapsed lung but rapidly deteriorates into something far more serious. In this case, the right lung appears as a dark area due to its collapse caused by an accumulation of air between the lung and chest wall. This abnormality is represented by solid grey shading. Additionally, soft-tissue emphysema is evident, signifying the destruction of vital lung tissues necessary for proper shape and function. Tension pneumothorax is a progressive disease that primarily manifests through shortness of breath. It poses significant risks to respiratory health and overall well-being. As we observe this X-ray closely, it becomes apparent how crucial early diagnosis and appropriate medical intervention are in managing such conditions effectively. The intricate details captured in this radiographic image highlight both the complexity of our internal organs and the importance of diagnostic imaging in healthcare practices. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an invaluable visual representation that aids medical professionals in understanding diseases like tension pneumothorax better.
