Overview
On chest x-ray, the classic signs of COPD are overexpanded lung (hyperinflation), a flattened diaphragm, increased retrosternal airspace, and bullae.[1] It can be useful to help exclude other lung diseases, such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema or a pneumothorax.[1]

Emphysema
- Signs of hyperinflation like 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)
