Overview

A chest X-ray can be done to evaluate for pneumonitis, which can be a manifestation of pulmonary GvHD.

Chest X-Ray

Chest X-ray can be done to assess for immune attack in the lungs, such as pneumonitis. Pneumonitis is a less common GvHD manifestation compared to rash, liver dysfunction, and diarrhea. However, pneumonitis has been known to occur. CT scan of the chest can better diagnose pneumonitis.
