Overview
An important test for making a diagnosis of pneumonia is a chest x-ray. Chest x-rays can reveal areas of opacity (seen as white) which represent consolidation. Pneumonia is not always seen on x-rays, either because the disease is only in its initial stages, or because it involves a part of the lung not easily seen by x-ray.
X Ray
- An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia. Findings on an chest x-ray suggestive of/diagnostic of aspiration pneumonia include:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- Lobar pneumonia
- Areas of opacity
- Segmental opacification
- Unilateral consolidation
- Air bronchogram
- Cavitation
