An anterior-posterior or lateral chest x-ray could be helpful in diagnosing changes associated with chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis in primary ciliary dyskinesia. Additionally, if dextrocardia is present it ca also be found on chest x-ray.

The x-ray findings in chronic bronchitis could show increased broncho vascular markings which are nonspecific for primary ciliary dyskinesia.

The x-ray findings in bronchiectasis include tram track opacities and air-fluid levels.
