Description
Hajime Tsuruoka and colleagues used moving X-ray imaging in 2026 to watch breathing in a woman aged 75 whose left main airway was nearly blocked by a small tumour. Standard lung tests cannot split function by side, so the team filmed the full breath cycle before and after treatment.
Before treatment the left lung barely expanded as she breathed in, and the chest centre shifted as she breathed out. A scope procedure snared out the growth, which proved to be a slow cancer type with no spread. After treatment expansion returned, the shift vanished, and both lungs moved together. Ordinary lung tests also improved.
