Lung disease, X-ray C017 / 7568
Lung disease. X-ray of the chest of a 88 year old male with a history of lung disease. The patient has previously had part of the right lung (seen at left) removed, a lobectomy, to treat tuberculosis (TB). The bronchi, the airways of the lungs, have become dilated and distorted, a condition known as bronchiectasis. This damages the tissue making it more prone to infection. It is a result of scarring caused by previous lung infections

EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome print from Science Photo Library showcases the chest X-ray of an 88-year-old male with a history of lung disease. The patient had previously undergone a lobectomy, removing part of his right lung to treat tuberculosis (TB). Upon examination, it is evident that the bronchi, which are the airways in the lungs, have become dilated and distorted due to scarring caused by previous lung infections. This condition is known as bronchiectasis. The enlargement and distortion of the bronchi damage the surrounding tissue, making it more susceptible to infection. This X-ray image serves as a diagnostic tool for healthcare professionals studying respiratory disorders in elderly patients. It highlights how age-related lung diseases can significantly impact one's overall health and well-being. The frontal view captured by this diagnostic x-ray machine reveals not only the abnormality but also provides valuable insights into pulmonary health conditions affecting older individuals. By examining such images, medical experts can make accurate diagnoses and develop appropriate treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. Science Photo Library offers this compelling visual representation of an elderly man's chest X-ray as part of their extensive collection dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge through imagery.
