Can x rays show asthma?

According to my pulmonologist, an asthma patient's chest X-ray will typically look normal unless there is severe hyperinflation during an acute attack. The standard diagnostic method remains a Spirometry or Peak Flow test, as told by my doctor.

No, an X-ray cannot diagnose asthma. It is only done to rule out other things like lung infections or pneumonia that might be causing similar symptoms. Get a proper pulmonary function test (PFT) done.

I got an X-ray done last winter when my wheezing got super bad, but the report was totally clean. My doc told me X-rays don't show asthma, they just do it to check if you have fluid or infection in your chest.

I am new to this and have been coughing a lot lately. If a chest X-ray comes back completely clear, does that mean my lungs are totally fine, or can I still have asthma? What test should I ask my doctor for next?

Humare yahan jab bache ko saans ki takleef hui, toh doctor sahab ne bataya ki X-ray se asthma ka pata nahi chalta. Woh toh bas chhati saaf hai ki nahi yeh dekhne ke liye hota hai. Aap acche doctor ko dikhayein, darna mat.

An X-ray won't show asthma. It's usually diagnosed through a spirometry breathing test.

Haan, X-ray mein asthma nahi dikhta bhai. Chhati ka basic checkup ho jata hai bas, taaki koi infection na ho. Asthma confirm karne ke liye toh woh phoonk marne wala test hota hai na, spirometry, wahi karna padega.
