Asbestosis, X-ray C017 / 7143
Asbestosis. X-ray of the chest of a 78 year old male that has been exposed to asbestos, showing diffuse plaques (light grey areas) in the lungs (dark). These plaques are likely due to asbestosis, a lung disease caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres, which cause scarring of the lung tissue. This scarring can take the form of calcified deposits known as plaques. There is no cure for asbestosis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome print captures the haunting reality of asbestosis, a debilitating lung disease caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. The image showcases the chest X-ray of a 78-year-old male patient who has suffered from prolonged occupational contact with this hazardous material. In the darkened areas of his lungs, diffuse plaques can be seen, representing scarring and calcified deposits resulting from asbestos inhalation. Asbestosis is an irreversible condition that causes significant damage to lung tissue, leading to breathing difficulties and decreased respiratory function. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for this ailment, leaving patients like this elderly man grappling with its devastating consequences. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with asbestos exposure and highlights the importance of strict safety regulations in industries where it may be present. It also underscores the urgent need for continued research into finding effective treatments or preventive measures against asbestosis. Through this powerful visual representation captured by Science Photo Library's diagnostic expertise, we are confronted with the harsh reality faced by individuals afflicted with this life-altering disease. This image stands as a testament to both human vulnerability and resilience in our ongoing battle against occupational disorders such as asbestosis.
