Bronchitis, X-ray

Bronchitis. Coloured bronchography (X-ray) of swollen bronchioles (orange) in the right lung. Bronchitis causes the network of airways in the lungs to become swollen and produce mucus. This can cause difficulty breathing and a productive cough. Other symptoms include fever and chest pain. Acute (short-term) bronchitis is generally caused by a viral infection and usually heals within 10 days. Chronic (long-term) bronchitis is most often seen in smokers, but may also be caused by air pollution. Chronic bronchitis is often an indication of more serious underlying respiratory disease. Bronchography uses a contrast medium to show the airways

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the effects of bronchitis on the respiratory system. The vibrant orange hue highlights the swollen bronchioles in the right lung, a telltale sign of this inflammatory condition. Bronchitis is characterized by an inflamed network of airways that produce excessive mucus, leading to breathing difficulties and a productive cough. The symptoms of bronchitis extend beyond respiratory distress, often including fever and chest pain. Acute bronchitis, typically caused by viral infections, usually resolves within 10 days. However, chronic bronchitis is more concerning as it is commonly associated with long-term smokers or exposure to air pollution. It can also be indicative of underlying respiratory diseases. Bronchography, a diagnostic technique employed in this image, utilizes contrast medium to visualize the intricate branching structure of the airways within our lungs. This allows medical professionals to identify areas affected by inflammation or other disorders accurately. As we observe this detailed radiographic representation captured by Science Photo Library's expert lens, we gain insight into both the beauty and complexity of our internal systems. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary organs like our lungs can face significant challenges when confronted with conditions like bronchitis.
