Asbestosis, X-ray C017 / 7143
Asbestosis. X-ray of the chest of a 78 year old male that has been exposed to asbestos, showing diffuse plaques (light grey areas) in the lungs (dark). These plaques are likely due to asbestosis, a lung disease caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres, which cause scarring of the lung tissue. This scarring can take the form of calcified deposits known as plaques. There is no cure for asbestosis

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome print captures the haunting reality of asbestosis, a debilitating lung disease caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. The image showcases the chest X-ray of a 78-year-old male patient who has suffered from prolonged occupational contact with this hazardous material. In the darkened areas of his lungs, diffuse plaques can be seen, representing scarring and calcified deposits resulting from asbestos inhalation. Asbestosis is an irreversible condition that causes significant damage to lung tissue, leading to breathing difficulties and decreased respiratory function. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for this ailment, leaving patients like this elderly man grappling with its devastating consequences. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with asbestos exposure and highlights the importance of strict safety regulations in industries where it may be present. It also underscores the urgent need for continued research into finding effective treatments or preventive measures against asbestosis. Through this powerful visual representation captured by Science Photo Library's diagnostic expertise, we are confronted with the harsh reality faced by individuals afflicted with this life-altering disease. This image stands as a testament to both human vulnerability and resilience in our ongoing battle against occupational disorders such as asbestosis.
