X Ray
- On chest X-ray, Goodpasture syndrome is characterized by parenchymal consolidations.
- Patients with Goodpasture syndrome have parenchymal consolidations that are most often present in both lungs, perihilar, and bibasilar.
- Parenchymal consolidations are not typically found in the apices and the costophrenic angles.
- Patients with Goodpasture's however, may not show any signs of parenchymal consolidation, in fact 18% of patients may present with no abnormal findings. When pulmonary hemorrhage is recurrent an interstitial pattern occurs. [1] [2]
