On chest x-ray, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia may be characterized by pulmonary infiltrates, nodules, effusion, and congestive heart failure.

CT scan imaging of chest, abdomen, and pelvis can be done to measure the tumor load.^[1]
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia shows evidence of lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly.^[1]
CT of the lungs or abdomen can also be diagnostic for infection, which is particularly relevant to immunocompromised patients.
