Chest X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of aspergillosis. Chest X-ray may be remarkable for recurrent pulmonary infiltrates in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. Findings on chest X-ray suggestive of aspergilloma include a well demarcated, round, soft tissue mass located inside an air space cavity of the lungs.^[1][2] Multiple cavities with evidence of fibrosis are suggestive of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis, whereas focal nodules and infiltration are suggestive of invasive aspergillosis.

• Chest X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of aspergillosis.
• Findings on chest X-ray suggestive of aspergillosis include:

• A well demarcated, round, soft tissue mass
• Located inside an air space cavity of the lungs
• Air crescent sign
• Altering the position of the patient usually demonstrates that the mass is mobile

• 
  Chest X-ray of a patient demonstrates a rounded opacity located at the medial aspect of the right lung apex
• 
  A close up view on the patient demonstrates a well circumscribed, rounded opacity located at the medial aspect of the right lung apex
• 
  Chest X-ray of a patient demonstrates a rounded soft tissue attenuating masses located inside a cavitary lesion observed at the middle lobe of the right lung
• 
  Air cresent sign aspergillosis
• 
  Chest X-ray that demonstrate a densitiy in the right upper zone with clear evidence of volume loss (the trachea and mediastinum are pulled towards the right, and the hilum is elevated)
