An abnormal chest x-ray shows abnormal tissue (arrows) in both lungs (L), predominantly in the middle and lower areas. This finding is typical of Goodpasture's syndrome. A normal chest x-ray is shown on the right for comparison; the heart (H), lungs (L), vertebrae (v), and collarbone (C) can be seen.
