Overview
Chest X-ray
- A chest x-ray may be useful in certain patients to exclude complications or superimposed infections, such as pneumonia.
- Chest x-ray findings will be normal among most of patients, so there is no need to perform this image study in all patients.
- Findings in patients that require a chest X-ray include:[1]
- Ground-glass opacity
- Consolidation (may suggest a superimposed bacterial infection)
- Bilateral diffuse infiltrates
- Pleural effusion
