Overview
By definition, patients with ARDS have bilateral airspace opacities on chest X-ray.
Chest X-Ray
Chest X-ray is the preferred imaging modality in the assessment of ARDS. Classic findings of ARDS on chest X-ray include:
- Diffuse, hazy airspace opacities that are bilateral but often asymmetric
- Obscuration of the pulmonary vessels
