Overview
There are no specific changes associated with Chest Xray in Farmer's lung disaease.
There can be reticular linear densities or small nodules.
Chest X-ray
Chest Xray changes can vary from non specific changes in interstitial structures to pulmonary alveolar fibrosis in chronic cases.[1]
- Reticular linear densities, or small nodules or both.[2]
- loss of lung volume
- Hyperinflation ( in chronic cases)
- Stiff lungs-restricted volume in others.
- Sometimes,pleural changes can be seen.
- Hilar adenopathy in rare cases
