Tuberculosis X-ray diagnosis
MODEL RELEASED. Tuberculosis (TB) X-ray diagnosis. Close-up of an X-ray of a patients lungs being examined by medical personnel for signs of TB. TB is an infection by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It usually infects the lungs and can cause severe scarring and lesions called tubercles. It is these lesions and scars that show up on X-rays. If a TB infection is not completely eradicated, then drug-resistant forms can develop. It is usually treated by a course of antibiotic drugs, often several taken in combination. Photographed in the UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the meticulous examination of a Tuberculosis (TB) X-ray diagnosis. In this close-up shot, medical personnel can be seen carefully scrutinizing an X-ray image of a patient's lungs for any telltale signs of TB. Tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affects the lungs and is notorious for causing severe scarring and lesions known as tubercles. These very lesions and scars are what appear on X-rays, aiding in the accurate diagnosis of this infectious disease. The photograph was taken in the United Kingdom and features a diverse group of healthcare professionals diligently working together to combat TB. A doctor and nurse can be seen closely examining the X-ray with utmost concentration, highlighting their commitment to providing quality care. It is crucial to note that if not entirely eradicated, drug-resistant forms of TB may develop over time. Therefore, treating this condition often involves a comprehensive course of antibiotic drugs administered in combination. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of the tireless efforts made by medical practitioners within our National Health Service (NHS) to diagnose and treat respiratory disorders like tuberculosis effectively. It symbolizes both hope and determination in combating this bacterial infection that affects millions worldwide. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment where science meets compassion through its lens – shedding light on critical diagnostic procedures performed by dedicated healthcare providers fighting against tuberculosis.
