Lung lesions, X-ray
Lung lesion. Coloured frontal chest X-ray of a woman with Wegeners granulomatosis, showing cavitating (cavity forming) lesions (yellow) in the lungs. Wegeners granulomatosis is a form of vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessel walls) that affects the lungs and other organs. Due to its end-organ damage, it can be a serious disease that requires long-term immune suppression as treatment. In this case the disease has formed rounded masses in the lungs, which necrotise (die unnaturally) internally. This shows on the X-ray as fluid levels on the inside of the lesions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of lung lesions in a woman diagnosed with Wegeners granulomatosis. The coloured frontal chest X-ray vividly displays cavitating (cavity forming) lesions, depicted in yellow, scattered throughout her lungs. Wegeners granulomatosis is a type of vasculitis that primarily affects blood vessel walls, particularly those within the lungs and other organs. This condition can be severe, leading to end-organ damage and necessitating long-term immune suppression as treatment. The image reveals rounded masses formed by this disease within the lungs, which undergo internal necrosis or unnatural cell death. These necrotic areas are clearly visible on the X-ray as fluid levels inside the lesions. The photograph not only provides valuable insights into the pathology of this disorder but also highlights its impact on an individual's health. With its focus on chest cavity abnormalities and medical conditions, this print serves as a powerful visual aid for healthcare professionals and researchers studying diseases affecting the respiratory system. Its false-coloured presentation adds clarity to anatomical structures while emphasizing key pathological features associated with wegeners granulomatosis. Science Photo Library has once again demonstrated their expertise in capturing medically significant images that contribute to our understanding of various illnesses and disorders impacting human biology.
