Overview
An x-ray may be helpful to rule out diagnoses other than adult bronchiolitis. Findings on an x-ray may include congenital abnormalities, lobar pneumonia, congestive heart failure, and foreign body aspiration. X - ray findings for adult bronchiolitis are non-specific but may include, hyperinflation, lobar infiltrates, and atelectasis.

- Atelectasis
- Bronchial wall thickening
- Air trapping
- Flattened diaphragm
- Increased anteroposterior diameter
- Peribronchial cuffing
- Centrilobular nodules
- Linear opacities
- Patchy alveolar opacities
