Overview
On chest x-ray, the classic signs of COPD are overexpanded lung (hyperinflation), a flattened diaphragm, increased retrosternal airspace, and bullae. It can be useful to help exclude other lung diseases, such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema or a pneumothorax.
Chest X Ray
Chest Xray may reveal the following findings in the patients with COPD.[1]
Images shown below are courtesy of RadsWiki
Emphysema
- Signs of hyperinflation such as flattening of diaphragm
- Increased retrosternal space
- Hypovascularity
- Long, narrow heart shadow
Patient #1: Paraseptal Emphysema
Patient #2: Paraseptal Emphysema
Chronic Bronchitis
- Increased bronchovascular markings
- Cardiomegaly
- Right ventricular enlargement, prominent hilar vascular shadows, opacity in retrosternal air spaces (pulmonary hypertension)
