Healthy vs Fibrotic Lungs: Medical Illustration Comparison #1261049 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white medical illustration contrasts two human lungs side by side: the left lung displays normal bronchial branching and smooth parenchyma, while the right lung exhibits advanced pulmonary fibrosis with irregular cystic spaces (honeycombing), thickened septa, and loss of functional alveoli. The trachea and main bronchi are centrally depicted to emphasize anatomical continuity. The image highlights structural deterioration caused by chronic interstitial lung disease.

Used in medical education, patient brochures, or clinical websites explaining pulmonary fibrosis, idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, or CT imaging findings; targets patients, students, and clinicians seeking visual pathophysiology reference.
