Overview
X-ray imaging does not show specific features for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. However, patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have imaging abnormalities from the beginning of the disease course.
Chest X Ray
- X-ray imaging does not show specific features for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. However, patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have imaging abnormalities from the beginning of the disease course.
- On chest x-ray, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by the following findings:[1]
- Peripheral reticular opacities, more common on the base of lungs
- Honeycomb appearance of the lower lobes
