Overview on X-ray Findings

• AIP: Non specific and often there is a patchy opacification.

• IPF: In early mild disease Chest Xray may be positive, however in advanced disease there will be a widespread reticulonodular shadowing throughout both lung fields.

This Xray shows a left hemidiaphragm has been lost, with increased opacification of the left base. Underlying infective change on left base should be excluded.
