Pulmonary Tuberculosis
This image shows an individual suffering from Pulmonary Tuberculosis, being treated with a partial artificial pneumothorax of the left lung (collapse of the lung). This can be seen by the extremely clear condition of the lower left lung as only air is present.
Infiltration of the tuberculosis infection can also be seen in the right lung, mostly in the mid-zone with some evidence of calcification.
The image is part of a larger collection of radiographs held by Northumberland Archives being digitised as part of the Stannington Sanatorium Project.
