==Chest X Ray==
Plain [[chest x-ray]]s reveal decreased lung volumes, typically with prominent reticular interstitial markings near the lung bases and posteriorly. Honeycombing, a pattern of dense fibrosis characterized by multiple tiny air-filled spaces located at the bases of the lungs, is frequently seen in advanced cases.  In less severe cases, these changes may not be evident on a plain chest film.
