Could lung hyperinflation on a chest x-ray be due to body habitus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Lung Hyperinflation is not related to body habitus. It is typically seen from disease causing significant air trapping in the lung such as severe asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
