Lung disease, X-ray C017 / 7817
Lung disease. X-ray of the chest of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is a collection of diseases that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The damage to the lung tissue reduces gas exchange in the lungs. This leads to shortness of breath, which can develop into a serious lack of oxygen in the blood and cyanosis (blue colouring), or even respiratory and heart failure. The main cause is cigarette smoking

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating effects of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on a patient's lungs. The X-ray, labeled as C017 / 7817, reveals the extent of damage caused by this collection of lung diseases, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The image showcases how COPD impairs gas exchange in the lungs due to severe damage to lung tissue. As a result, individuals with this condition experience shortness of breath that can progress into a dangerous lack of oxygen in their bloodstream. In some cases, it may even lead to respiratory and heart failure. The primary cause behind COPD is cigarette smoking, highlighting the detrimental impact of this unhealthy habit on our respiratory system. This visual representation serves as a stark reminder for viewers about the consequences associated with long-term smoking. Displayed in monochrome tones, this diagnostic X-ray offers an insight into both the medical and human aspects of COPD. It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for patients suffering from this debilitating disorder. This print is part of Science Photo Library's extensive collection dedicated to showcasing various medical conditions affecting humanity. It serves as a poignant reminder about the harmful effects that smoking can have on our lungs while urging us towards healthier choices for better respiratory health.
