Coloured bronchography (X-ray) of the chest of a patient, showing expansion of the bronchi (airways of the lungs) after pneumothorax therapy. Pneumothorax is a collapse of the lung when air (gas) collects in the pleural cavity outside the lungs, and one therapy is to drain the air away causing the lung to re-inflate.
