The chest X-ray of a patient with organizing pneumonia demonstrates non-specific features that resemble extensive inflammation/infection.
Findings on a chest X-ray include:

Unilateral or bilateral patchy consolidation, usually peripheral, subpleural, and peribronchovascular
Radiopaque nodules that represent foci of granulation tissue, may be numerous in immunocompromised patients^[1]

 ==Chest X Ray==
-The [[chest x-ray]] is distinctive with features that appear similar to an extensive [[pneumonia]], with both lungs showing widespread white patches. The white patches may seem to migrate from one area of the lung to another as the disease persists or progresses. It shows normal lung volumes, with characteristic patchy unilateral or bilateral consolidation. Small nodular opacities occur in up to 50% of patients and large nodules in 15%.
