Lung disease. X-ray of the chest of a 88 year old male with a history of lung disease. The patient has previously had part of the right lung (seen at left) removed,a lobectomy,to treat tuberculosis (TB). The bronchi,the airways of the lungs,have become dilated and distorted,a condition known as bronchiectasis. This damages the tissue making it more prone to infection. It is a result of scarring caused by previous lung infections | |
