Overview
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.
