Lung fibrosis, CT scan
Lung fibrosis. Image 2 of 3. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan through the chest of a patient with lung (pulmonary) fibrosis. This is the middle of the lung with the aortic branches (blue), non-lung tissue (green), lung tissue (yellow/brown) and air-filled bullae (black). Lung fibrosis is a condition whereby a lung infection causes inflammation of the tissue around the alveoli (air sacs), producing scar tissue. This scarring leads to breathlessness due to stiffnesss of the lungs. Damaged areas of the alveoli also fill with air, forming bullae or blebs. If they burst, the air released causes pneumothorax (collapsed lung), which can be life-threatening. See M160/059 and 061 for the rest of the sequence

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of a patient's chest, specifically focusing on lung fibrosis. The image reveals the intricate details of the middle section of the lungs, highlighting various elements such as aortic branches in blue, non-lung tissue in green, lung tissue in yellow/brown, and air-filled bullae in black. Lung fibrosis is an unfortunate condition that occurs when inflammation caused by a lung infection affects the tissue surrounding the alveoli or air sacs. This inflammation leads to the formation of scar tissue, resulting in stiffness and breathlessness for individuals affected by this condition. Additionally, damaged areas within the alveoli fill with air and form bullae or blebs. If these structures burst, it can lead to pneumothorax or collapsed lung which poses life-threatening risks. The image not only provides valuable insight into this pathological state but also highlights its potential consequences. By understanding these complexities through CT scans like this one, medical professionals gain crucial information necessary for diagnosis and treatment planning. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this visually striking representation of pulmonary fibrosis using false colours to enhance clarity and comprehension. It serves as a reminder of both the fragility and resilience of our respiratory system while emphasizing ongoing research efforts towards finding curative solutions for interstitial lung diseases like fibrosis.
