Chest X Ray
The chest X-ray (CXR) appearance of SARS is variable. There is no pathognomonic appearance of SARS but is commonly felt to be abnormal with patchy infiltrates in any part of the lungs. The initial CXR may be clear.
Shown below is an image of a CXR showing increased opacity in both lungs, indicative of pneumonia, in a patient with SARS.
