Figure 10: (10a) A GRE T2*-weighted sagittal image reveals a complex tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, having horizontal (arrows) and longitudinal (arrowhead) components. Complex tears like this are likely to be unstable.igure 6: (6a) A radial tear of the body of the lateral meniscus also appears vertical on sagittal MR images (arrow), though in the case of radial tears, the lesion is oriented perpendicular to the c-shaped fibers of the meniscus.
In brief: See a doctor, urgent. A collapsed lung (pneumothorax) is due to an air leak from the inside of the lung through the covering of the lung, out into the space between the lung and the ribs. The site of the leak has some damage, which will heal itself later.
Lung Damage (Acute Pulmonary Toxicity) Overview. Lung damage is a side effect of some cancer treatments. This damage may include inflammation, which reduces the amount of oxygen you can absorb, and/or scarring, which reduces the amount of air you can breathe. Both of these result in uncomfortable symptoms, including shortness of breath and fatigue.
