Cavitating Mass
CT scan in the axial plane of the left upper lobe of a 28-year-old immigrant with cough shows a thick walled cavitating mass subtended by a subsegmental thick-walled airway. Lab tests confirmed the diagnosis of TB and the patient was treated with RISE, a 4-month treatment regimen of rifapentine-moxifloxacin for mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Art rendering of a coronal CT scan illustrating biapical cavitation in tuberculosis (TB), with toothed red snappers surrounding and consuming the affected lung tissue. These aggressive fish symbolize Mycobacterium tuberculosis, known as “red snappers” due to their acid-fast staining properties. In TB, cavitary lesions result from necrotic destruction of lung parenchyma, creating air-filled spaces that enhance disease spread and transmission.
This fusion of radiology and artistic symbolism transforms a pathological process into a striking visual metaphor—bridging medical science with storytelling to deepen understanding.

Immunocompromised
Art rendering illustrating the contrast between an immunocompetent and immunocompromised host in the battle against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. On the left, a strong, well-armed policeman represents a robust immune system, successfully driving away red snappers, symbolic of TB bacteria. On the right, a frail, disarmed policeman embodies a weakened immune system, surrounded by giant, menacing red snappers with bared teeth, illustrating the overwhelming infection in an immunocompromised host.
This fusion of medical science and artistic symbolism transforms a microscopic reality into a striking visual metaphor—bridging knowledge and storytelling to deepen understanding.

Smoking Bronchitis and Lower Lobes
Memory Images
Cigarette smoke contains approximately 7,000 toxins, of which 70 are carcinogenic. Some toxins remain suspended in the rising smoke, predominantly affecting the upper lung fields, while others exist as particulate matter that falls and settles in the lower lung regions.

What Disease in the Lungs?
Artistic rendering of the pathophysiology of paraseptal emphysema—illustrating a person exerting a normal amount of pull on the pleura (representing normal inspiratory and expiratory forces). The paraseptal alveoli, which have lost their elasticity, become enlarged and emphysematous, while the deeper alveoli within the secondary lobule remain relatively spared.

Ground Glass and Consolidation
This art rendering compares the appearance of ground glass opacification with consolidation. GGO is characterized by increased lung attenuation with preserved bronchial and vascular markings.
Differentiation from Consolidation: Unlike consolidation, where alveoli are completely filled (leading to obscuration of vessels but creating distinct air bronchograms ), GGO represents partial filling, interstitial thickening, or mild alveolar (for example blood pus , exudate cells ) and the resultant white density enables the air filled bronchi and blood vessels to be visualised.
