X-ray chest
The findings are not consistent or highly specific. Alveolar infiltrates may be present but are not localized to a particular lobe. Consolidations with or without cavitations, small pleural effusion's are relatively common. Sometimes, pulmonary nodules simulating tuberculosis or cancers may be present. Mediastinal lymph node enlargement is not a consistent finding, but may be found occasionally.
X-ray Bone
A well circumscribed osteolytic lesion is the most common bone involvement finding in blastomycosis. X-ray patterns of vertebral involvement are somewhat similar to those seen in tuberculosis.
