A member asked:
A few months ago i had a chest xray for pneumonia they found nothing... would that have shown if i had any other disease in my chest? specifically pulmonary edema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only some: Yes, pulmonary edema would have been picked up by chest X-ray, but not a pulmonary embolism or clot, for example. Not to mention other than pulmonary pathology, such as cardiac, gi or musculoskeletal that are typically not picked up in such circumstances by a chest X-ray.
